Now this is embarrassing for ICC. In the beginning they were worried to even consider Bindra for this post. Who will they go for now? Another Australian? Or an Englishman? But won't it worry them to habve an English President as well as Enlish CEO?

The development means the ICC will have to once again cast its net to find a successor to Malcolm Speed, the incumbent since 2001 who steps down from the role after this year's ICC Annual Conference, which will take place between June 29 and July 4. An ICC statement said the committee charged with identifying a successor - comprising Morgan, ICC president Ray Mali, vice-president Sharad Pawar and the chairman of Cricket Australia, Creagh O'Connor - will now reconvene

Oh wonderful!! I'll be really interested to see who they choose next!!
