Morgan 'to be next ICC president'
The chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board is to become the next head of the game's world governing body, the BBC understands.
Welshman David Morgan will take over from acting International Cricket Council president Ray Mali next year.
There had been a stand-off over whether Morgan or India's Sharad Pawar should take over the top job.
But BBC sport editor Mihir Bose said a compromise would see Morgan in charge until 2010, with Pawar succeeding him.
"Both of them will become vice-president, in effect president elect," Bose told Five Live.
