ICC board relieves Manu Sawhney as CEO with immediate effect on back of cultural review

Manu Sawhney has been under the eye of storm for a while after more than 90 percent of the apex body employees gave their testimonies against the ICC Chief Executive Officer.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Thursday confirmed that its Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Manu Sawhney will leave the organisation with immediate effect following the findings of an internal investigation over his 'abrasive conduct'. Acting CEO Geoff Allardice will continue in his role and take over the proceedings from Sawhney.
