DUBAI: The International Cricket Council Thursday announced that chief executive Manu Sawhney will leave the organisation with immediate effect.
Geoff Allardice will continue as acting CEO supported by the leadership team working closely with the ICC board.
The development comes months after Sawhney was suspended after an internal review, which was conducted by PricewaterhouseCoopers (PwC).
Sawhney became the ICC CEO in January 2019, succeeding former South African cricketer Dave Richardson, who had held the position for seven years.
He was sent on “leave” in March pending an inquiry after he came under scrutiny for his “abrasive behaviour” with colleagues.
Sawhney has termed the inquiry against him as a “premeditated witch-hunt”.
