According to ESPNcricinfo’s report, he will retire by the end of October 2024. Let us tell you that Flanagan’s decision has come after ACU chief Alex Marshall’s decision to retire in November. Most importantly, Sir Robbie Flanagan has also served as Chief Inspector of Home Tenure for England, Wales and Northern Ireland and as a High Committee Senior Police Officer he was given important responsibility as Chairman of the new Anti-Corruption Unit in 2010. Interestingly, Paul Condon founded the ACU after his appointment to the ICC in 2000. Initially, Condon was tasked with handling the ever-increasing cases of match fixing, and under Condon’s ideals, the increased laws against match fixing resulted in Mohammad Azharuddin, Salim Malik and the late Hansie Cronje facing life bans for fixing. Moreover, with the growing popularity of T20 cricket, Condon had said that the shortest format domestic league would pose the biggest threat to the integrity of the game.
