The Chairman and CEO of PepsiCo Indra Nooyi today appointed as the first independent female director of the International Cricket Council (ICC). She is about to affix the Board in June 2018. The appointment of Nooyi to the board makes her the primary impartial feminine director on the council. She was unanimously voted to take the coveted place.

The introduction of an Independent Director, who must be female, was approved by the ICC Full Council in June last year as part of wide ranging constitutional change aimed at improving the governance of the sport. The Independent Director will be appointed for a two-year term although she may be re-appointed for two further terms with a maximum six-year consecutive period of service.

"I am thrilled to join the ICC as the first person to be appointed to this role. I look forward to working with my colleagues on the board, ICC's partners, and cricketers around the world to grow our sport responsibly and give our fans a new reason to follow every ball and shot," Nooyi said about her appointment.
