Manohar to step down as ICC chairman after current term

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday confirmed that chairman Shashank Manohar will not seek an extension to his term "but would support the Board to ensure a smooth transition."
The ICC, in a statement, also said: "No final decision was taken regarding the election process and the subject will be discussed further at the next ICC Board meeting on Thursday."
"The existing Chair confirmed he was not seeking any extension to his term but would support the Board to ensure a smooth transition," the statement read.
Manohar's suspicion about a monetary exchange between the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and Cricket West Indies (CWI) with an eye on the upcoming elections was dismissed by the Ethics Officer, clearing the path for Colin Graves to take over as next ICC chief.
Meanwhile, the ICC also said that reports of a postponement of the T20 World Cup are 'inaccurate' and "planning for the event continues whilst a number of contingency plans are being explored in light of the rapidly changing public health situation caused by the Covid-19 virus."
