Shashank Manohar, the person chiefly responsible for trying to reduce the influence wielded by the Big Three, has resigned from his post as ICC chairman after only eight months in office because of personal reasons.

Manohar was elected unopposed as the ICC's first independent chairman - one not affiliated to any of its member boards - in May 2016 for a two-year term, and since then had led the effort to decentralise the power held by the BCCI, CA and ECB.

In February this year, the ICC had passed in principle a new constitution that undid much of the imbalance in power and finances the Big Three had attempted to create in 2014, but a final decision was to be taken at the ICC Board's next round of meetings in April. Manohar, however, will now not be the head of the ICC at those meetings.

At the end of the day, cricket is the real winner

ROFL. Something must be cooking in the background. 

Come on down ICC, CA, ECB, CSA.... for your punishment.

Brilliant news.

If this devious traitor is stepping down meekly and instantly, summon must have been from the highest powers...my respects for whoever that might have f****d this scumbag, who had been hellbent on hurting his own country.

PS: The highest powers must have been waiting for the elections to go out of their way(and in their way) before dealing with this relatively minor issue.

He stepped down due to "personal reasons" ... yeah ok.

 

Its funny how the ICC go after individual cricketers for corruption when the big three are the most corrupt of all.

Good news for Indian Cricket. I hope he gets isolated in BCCI as well. Well ridden.

I'd say he was probably blackmailed.

 

Doesn't seem like the type who would take a bribe.

However, according to highly-placed sources Manohar has decided to quit as BCCI seems to have gained enough ground to block the constitutional and financial reforms that were set to be passed by the ICC at its next board meeting.

 

Any reform to be passed needs 2/3rd majority but BCCI, in all likelihood, has managed to get Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Zimbabwe on its side.

 

It is learnt, expecting a loss of face, Manohar has resigned with immediate effect.

So we can expect more games against SL, Zim and Bangladesh.

This is trademark Shashank Manohar move, whenever the going gets tough, He quits, always the first one to jump like the rats in a sinking ship. Manohar did the same when BCCI was getting under turmoil and now that his proposals are facing difficulties he is running away.

 

Anyhoo, Glad to see the back of this Gaddar, Manohar was trying to permanently damage Indian cricket and its Financial model. Right from percentage of ICC income, Pooled TV rights, to no home season for India, to punishing India for not playing Pakistan etc etc..

[TheWall]

LOL Pakistan kicked out,  the PCB chairman was giving Anti-BCCI statements after statements in the last two months. Eventhough the BCCI is at its weakest, they have struck back within a month of getting a bloody nose.

 

 The ICC chairman Shashank Manohar ran away and now this Quadrangular Cup involving Pakistan and South Africa has been changed into a Triangular with Bangladesh , Sri Lanka and India. That's the ICC voting block for next month right in front of you.
