The seat of ICC Chairman has been vacant for more than 2 months after the departure of Shashank Manohar as ICC’s board remains indecisive on continuing with a two-third majority among the members or reinstate a simple majority. The PCB Chief added:
It’s unfortunate it has taken so long. The politics introduced by Australia, England, and India in 2014 to protect their positions – now they are struggling to unwind it because it doesn’t suit them anymore.
