Former Warwickshire chief executive Dennis Amiss has been confirmed as ECB deputy chairman, the England board has announced.

Two weeks ago he won the election to become the new deputy chairman after narrowly defeating Lancashire chairman Jack Simmons, but the process had to be endorsed by the 41 members of the ECB.

The Electoral Reform Society duly informed the ECB that this had been successful and Amiss will now replace Michael Soper who resigned last month. Amiss will serve until March 31, 2010. Amiss won by one vote in a poll of the county chairmen and will now be put forward to the 41 members of the ECB for endorsement in the next fortnight.
