ICC chairman Jay Shah said Gupta "brings extensive experience in sports strategy and commercialisation, which will be invaluable for the ICC".

The role attracted more than 2,500 applications from candidates across 25 countries, the ICC said.

"These are exciting times for the sport as marquee events grow in stature, commercial avenues widen and opportunities such as the women’s game scale in popularity," Gupta said in a statement.

"Cricket's inclusion in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympic Games and the rapid acceleration of technology deployment/adoption could act as force-multipliers for the cricket movement around the world."
