Manohar to remain ICC chairman until June 2018

The uncertainty over whether ICC will have a new chairman in June has been brought to an end by the man who started it in the first place. Shashank Manohar has decided to finish his term as ICC chairman, which ends in June 2018.

In March, Manohar had opted to step down for "personal" reasons, but was persuaded by a host of ICC directors - both Full Members and Associates - to continue.

Following such "overwhelming support", Manohar said he would return, but only till the annual conference this June when the new ICC constitution comprising the governance structure and the latest finance model will be ratified.

His decision to continue as chairman is a shot in the arm for the ICC and the Member Boards that voted in favour of radical reforms to the governance and financial structures of cricket`s governing body last month.
