Richard Thompson, the chairman of Surrey, is set to be announced as the new chairman of the England & Wales Cricket Board, and unveiled in the role next week.

Thompson, who is 54, is set to beat off interim chair Martin Darlow and Alan Dickinson, another current member of the ECB board and a former treasurer of Surrey, to the role. He will fill the void as permanent chair, succeeding Ian Watmore - who resigned last October - after a drawn out process.

Thompson, who will fill the position for a five-year term, was viewed as the preferred candidate of the counties and has previously been a vocal critic of the Hundred. In 2018, he quit the ECB board over concerns about a lack of transparency, declaring that “trust needs to be restored”.
