Shashank Manohar stepping down as the Chairman of International Cricket Council (ICC) on Wednesday is completely unexpected. He sent his resignation through an e-mail to ICC CEO Dave Richardson Today citing personal issues.
It was only in May last year Shashank Manohar, then BCCI President, was elected unopposed as ICC Chairman. He, however, resigned even before the completion of 2-years term.

ICC require 2/3rd Majority to pass any reforms. So, It could do nothing now after BCCI & Three Other Cricket Board have been opposing them.
