The decision comes following an ICC Board resolution to request him to remain in post was passed with overwhelming support earlier this week. In a significant show of support for Manohar, the Board asked him to withdraw his resignation or at the very least defer it until the ongoing process relating to governance and financial restructuring are completed. 

Manohar said: “I respect the sentiments expressed by the directors and the confidence they have reposed in me. In the light of this, I am willing to continue as chairman till the responsibility as per resolution is complete.”
