Doug Insole has been appointed president of MCC for a one-year term beginning this October.

Insole, who turned 80 last month, played for England nine times and while he had a distinguished 17-year career with Essex, he is perhaps better known for his achievements off the cricket field.

He has previously chaired both Essex and the Test & County Cricket Board (TCCB) and currently chairs the European Cricket Council. He was an England selector for ten years and managed the 1978-79 and 1982-83 Ashes tours to Australia

Insole played 450 first-class games and scored over 25,000 runs. Coincidentally, his year as president will end 60 years after he made his first-class debut.
