NEW DELHI, - The International Cricket Council (ICC) has put Chief Executive Manu Sawhney on forced leave after an investigation found evidence of misconduct, world body sources told AFP yesterday.
Sawhney, an Indian-origin former television executive who is also a non-executive director of Manchester United, has been in the post for less than two years.
With a year of his contract still to run, the move follows a review of his actions and management conduct by the business consultancy PwC.
ICC officials would not say what allegations had been made against Sawhney, but Indian media said they involved the treatment of staff and some decisions.
Reports said there had also been clashes with the main ICC members from Australia, England and India over future events.
Sawhney took over from Australian Geoff Richardson as ICC CEO in April 2019. Cricket’s governing body wanted to use his experience to further boost its television revenues. -AFP
