MUMBAI:Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has unanimously elected Shashank Manohar as the new President of the Board in place of Late Jagmohan Dalmiya who died last month.
According to details, The Nagpur-based lawyer who is 58 year of age was appointed to arguably the most powerful job in world cricket at a special general body meeting of the BCCI at its headquarters in Mumbai.
The BCCI has announced his appointment on its official Twitter account said “Mr Shashank Manohar elected.”
Manohar was the only candidate in the election.
It is to be kept in mind that Manohar will remain at the post for two years and he had earlier served as BCCI president from 2008 to 2011.
Jagmohan Dalmiya’s death on September 20 had triggered a bitter succession battle within the faction-ridden BCCI, with former chief Sharad Pawar being a key contender for the post.
