Speaking at the ECB's annual general meeting, MacLaurin said he feels that his job is not yet done after five years in the post.

He will face a challenge from Surrey chairman Mike Soper, who has already announced his intention to stand in the August ballot.

"I believe we are on the cusp of achieving further great things for cricket," Lord MacLaurin said.

"I have thought long and hard about my own role in continuing to move the game forward, and know that I have the experience and determination to drive the ECB to the next stage of its development.

"Someone asked me recently whether I thought I had finished the job. My answer was an unequivocal `no'.

"There is still a great deal to be done. Still a great need for cricket to change and modernise in a number of areas."

MacLaurin has overseen the introduction of central contracts and the establishment of an Academy during his stewardship.

But he is determined to drive through reforms that will do away with the need to consult with counties before making decisions about the England team.
