DUBAI: The vexed Zimbabwe issue, fate of disgraced West Indian batsman Marlon Samuels and Sunil Gavaskar's replacement in the Cricket Committee will top the agenda at ICC's Annual General Meeting starting here on Sunday.
The two-day Chief Executives Committee (CEC) meeting, starting Sunday, will decide on a range of issues relating to the game as well as recommendations by the ICC Board, which will meet over two days on July 2 and 3.
The week will conclude with ICC's Annual Conference on July 4, followed by a Members' Forum.
The ICC Board will be asked to select a replacement for former Cricket Committee Chairman Sunil Gavaskar, who relinquished the post in May after eight years at the helm.
Gavaskar's scathing criticism of Match Referees did not go down well with the ICC and asked to chose between his media commitments and the Cricket Committee, the former India captain stepped down from the high-profile panel.
Former Pakistan captain Majid Khan and ex-West Indies skipper Clive Lloyd are in the fray to succeed Gavaskar in the committee.
According to an ICC release here on Friday, the worsening situation in Zimbabwe has prompted ICC President Ray Mali to place the issue on the agenda at the Board meeting. South Africa has already snapped cricketing ties with Zimbabwe while England followed suit later, which has put ICC under pressure to come up with a decision on the issue.
The governing body is also expected to announce Marlon Samuels' fate after the batsman was banned for two years by a West Indies Cricket Board Disciplinary Committee.
Samuels was found guilty of offence C 4 (ix) of the ICC Code of Conduct, which indicts a player who has "Received any money, benefit or other reward (whether financial or otherwise) which could bring him or the game of cricket into disrepute."
"An Official Enquiry made up of Michael Beloff QC, the Chairman of the ICC Code of Conduct Commission, and two other ICC Code of Conduct Commissioners, has reviewed the WICB Disciplinary Committee finding to ascertain whether the disciplinary process and the punishment imposed were in keeping with the ICC regulations and it will make any recommendation necessary to the ICC Board meeting," the ICC statement said.
The CEC will also consider replacing bowl-out with one-over eliminator in case of a tied match in the 2008 Champions Trophy and 2009 Twenty20 World Cup.
The loss of two wickets by the batting side ends its innings. If the sides finish tied then the line-up that has hit the most sixes in both its innings and the one-over eliminator is declared the winner.
If the sides are still tied at that point then they will be separated by determining which of them scored the most boundaries fours and sixes in both its innings and the eliminator.
