TIL Desk Sports/ Shashank Manohar has stepped down as Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) citing personal reasons. Manohar’s decision comes after only eight months in office although the resignation is yet to be officially accepted by the game’s world governing body.
The 59-year-old was elected unopposed as the ICC’s first independent chairman last year. His two-year term was supposed to end in May 2018. The former Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) President sent a copy of his resignation letter to ICC CEO Dave Richardson on Wednesday.
“I have tried to do my best and have tried to be fair and impartial in deciding matters in the functioning of the board and in matters related to Member Boards along with the able support of all directors. “However, for personal reasons it is not possible for me to hold the august office of ICC chairman and hence I am tendering my resignation as Chairman with immediate effect,” Manohar said in the letter.
