Mukuhlani, who currently serves on the ICC Finance and Commercial Affairs Committee, the Nominations Committee, and chairs the HR and Remuneration Committee, was appointed following a vote by the ICC Board of Directors. The appointment marks a significant milestone for Zimbabwe, as Mukuhlani becomes the first Zimbabwean to serve as Deputy Chair of the ICC. ICC Chairman Jay Shah praised Mukuhlani's experience in cricket administration and commitment to the game's development, emphasizing the importance of his appointment for African cricket, which is preparing to co-host the ICC Men's Cricket World Cup 2027 alongside South Africa and Namibia.",
