The International Cricket Council: Sir Ronnie Flanagan, the long-serving Independent Chair of the Anti-Corruption Unit (ACU), will retire from his role at the end of October 2024, the International Cricket Council (ICC) announced on Monday.

Sir Ronnie Flanagan succeeded Lord Condon, the first-ever ACU head, who had been appointed by the ICC in 2000 following a series of high-profile match-fixing scandals. Condon's tenure saw life bans handed out to prominent figures, including former international captains Mohammad Azharuddin, Saleem Malik, and the late Hansie Cronje, in efforts to clean up the sport.

Before stepping down in 2010, Condon warned that the rise of T20 cricket, particularly domestic franchise leagues, would pose a significant threat to the integrity of the game.
