Shashank Manohar elected unopposed as ICC chairman

Just in: Shashank Manohar has been elected unopposed as independent ICC Chairman. Manohar said he was looking forward to working with all stakeholders to shape the future of cricket, which has a proud history and rich tradition."


Manohar resigned as president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) yesterday. When Manohar took over as BCCI president for a second term last October, days after the demise of then president, Jagmohan Dalmiya, he was designated as the ICC chairman. However, with the ICC set to revert to its old rule of not allowing its chief to hold a post in his/her home board, Manohar has stepped down.
