N Srinivasan was removed from his position as the chairman of
International Cricket Council (ICC) today. He is being replaced by
Shashank Manohar.
The decision came at the Indian cricket board BCCI’s 86th Annual
General Meeting (AGM) held in Mumbai, reports The Hindustan Times.
Srinivasan’s tenure was due to end next year in the same month after
taking over in June last year. The remainder of his term will now be
completed by Manohar.
NDTV reported that Roger Binny was removed from the Team India
selection committee due to a conflict of interest issue. His son plays
for the Indian team.
Among other decisions, Ravi Shastri was removed from the Indian
Premier League (IPL) governing council due to the conflict of interest
stemming from his role as team director.
The Hindustan Times reports the resolution favouring Manohar as
Srinivasan’s replacement was passed at the AGM. In Manohar cannot attend
ICC meetings, Sharad Pawar will be India’s envoy.
