Bangladesh, July 2 -- Imran Khwaja was made interim chairman of the International Cricket Council on Wednesday until fresh elections for the post is held.

The decision was taken by the ICC Board on Wednesday after incumbent chairman Shashank Manohar of India stepped down from the post after completing his two terms.

Khwaja, who is a former president of the Singapore Cricket Association, was elected as ICC's deputy chairman in 2017, a year after Manohar became the global cricket body's inaugural independent chairman, said a ESPN.Cricinfo report
