Shashank Manohar to complete his full term as ICC Chairman

Shashank Manohar to complete his full term as ICC Chairman 

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on 10 May 2017 confirmed that Shashank Manohar will continue to function as the Independent(स्वतंत्र) Chairman of ICC till June 2018. With this, the
uncertainty (अनिश्चितता) looming large over Shashank Manohar's tenure as ICC chairman came to an end. In March 2017, Manohar resigned as the Chairman of the International Cricket Council stating personal reasons. However, he was persuaded(विश्वस्त) by overwhelming (भारी) support from ICC Directors. Manohar joined ICC as a Chairman in May 2016. He had signed a two-year term with the ICC that began with immediate effect after he stepped down as the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
