Shashank Manohar has stepped down as BCCI president, ahead of the elections for ICC chairman. “I hereby tender my resignation with immediate effect from the post of president of Board of Control for Cricket in India,” Manohar said in a letter to BCCI secretary Anurag Thakur. “I also resign with immediate effect as the representative of BCCI on the International Cricket Council, as also the Asian Cricket Council on which I was nominated by the General Body of BCCI.” Manohar will contest the upcoming ICC election, for which the nomination process began on 8 May. In February, the ICC had announced that its new chairman would be independent and not hold a position with their home board. Manohar took the post of the BCCI president in October after the previous president Jagmohan Dalmiya died.
