Finalising the nomination process to elect Shashank Manohar's successor as the next independent chairman of the world cricket body is the sole agenda for the ICC Board, which will meet virtually on Monday. It is expected that the entire process irrespective of whether it's an election or unanimous selection will be over by four weeks.
"The meeting tomorrow only has nomination process in the agenda. Normally, it is a two week window that is provided for filing nominations," a senior board member told PTI on the condition of anonymity. Usually in ICC, a two-third majority is required but there could be a few board members who would want it to be a case of simple majority among 17 members. The 17 board members of ICC comprise of 12 Test playing nations, three associate nations (Malaysia, Scotland, Singapore), chairman (in this case interim) and independent director (Indra Nooyi of Pepsico). ICC CEO Manu Sawhney is also a part of ICC Board but without voting right. A candidate can be nominated by a past or present director of ICC but it has to be seconded mandatorily by two current directors. Only then one can enter the election fray.
