However, Clare Connor will have to wait more than a year to hold this position. Claire Conor will replace Kumar Sangakkara, who is currently the chairman of MCC, in October next year.
Kumar Sangakkara himself announced the nomination of Claire Conor, managing director of women’s cricket at the England and Wales Cricket Board. At the annual meeting of the General Assembly on Wednesday, it was told via video conferencing that Claire Conor would hold the post of president of the MCC. Conor will take up the post on October 1 next year, but before that he needs to get the approval of the members of the Merrillbone Cricket Club.

Claire Conor has said about this, ‘I am very happy to be nominated for the next MCC President’s post. Cricket has given me a lot and now this honor is a big thing for me.
