BCCI announces Manohar as new president
Shashank Manohar has been elected as the BCCI's new president, stepping into the role for his second term.
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially confirmed Shashank Manohar as its new president.
Manohar takes over the role following the death of previous incumbent Jagmohan Dalmiya, who passed away last month at the age of 75.
It is Manohar's second stint as president, having occupied the role between 2008 and 2011.
He was formally elected at the board's special general meeting in Mumbai on Sunday, with his appointment a formality after he was the only man nominated for the position.
In his opening address, Manohar promised to tackle issues surrounding corruption and the conflict of interests between players and officials.
