Or does it?
“The International Cricket Council (ICC) has appointed India’s Shashank Manohar as its first independent chairman.
The 58-year-old, the sole nominee and elected unopposed, will begin his two-year term with the sport’s governing body immediately.
Manohar had resigned as the President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday.”
Shouldn’t it be the case that the independent chair is a person with no prior connections with the body to which the chair is elected
I don’t know how close BCCI is to ICC but I can’t imagine that they are totally unrelated
