NEW DELHI: India’s Shashank Manohar has said he won’t seek a third term as chairman of the ICC and will step down next year, according to a report on Tuesday.

Manohar was elected unopposed for a second two-year term last year after a tenure marked by broad reforms. But the 62-year-old former head of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) told a local newspaper that it is time for a new person to take charge. “I am not interested in continuing for another two-year term,” Manohar was quoted as saying. “Majority of directors have requested me to continue but I have told them that I do not wish to do so. “I have been the chairman for nearly five years. I am very clear, I do not want to continue from June 2020. My successor will be known next May.”
