Ehsan Mani said that “The relationship between the boards (BCCI & PCB) is very good even today. Some very good people represent India at the ICC, both at the Board level and the chief executive level. Unfortunately, as far as cricket relationship is concerned, that is a political matter. Hopefully, the politician will realise that it’s very important to resume cricket between the countries. Beyond that, I can’t say much.”
The ICC board comprises of 17 directors in which 12 are full members, three directors representing the associates (Malaysia, Scotland, and Singapore), the interim chairman Khwaja, the ICC chief executive officer Manu Sawhney and Independent female director Indra Nooyi.
The chief executive officer Manu Sawhney doesn’t have a vote and for any resolution to be approved, the ICC constitution currently requires a minimum of 11 votes or a two-thirds majority for electing the new chairperson but it is expected that it will be done through general consensus.
