ICC chairman Shashank Manohar on Wednesday stepped down after two tenures at its helm. The ICC Board met today and agreed that Deputy Chairman Imran Khwaja will assume all the responsibilities of the Chairperson until a successor is elected.
The process for the Chairperson election is expected to be approved by the ICC Board within the next week. ICC Chief Executive Manu Sawhney said: “On behalf of the ICC Board and staff and the whole cricket family, I would like to thank Shashank for his leadership and everything he has done for the sport as ICC Chairman. We wish him and his family all the very best for the future.”
ICC Deputy Chairman Imran Khwaja added: “Everyone on the ICC Board extends their wholehearted thanks to Shashank for their commitment he has shown to our sport. There is no doubt that cricket owes Shashank a debt of gratitude for all he has done for the sport. He has left cricket and the ICC in a very better place than he found it.”
