Speaking over the phone yesterday morning, a day after he resigned from the BCCI and ICC posts, Manohar said: &ldquo;I tendered my resignation before the close of the nomination process on Tuesday.&rdquo; &nbsp;
Explaining the nomination process for the ICC chairman&rsquo;s post, one of the directors of a member nation said, &ldquo;ICC&rsquo;s 13 directors were voluntarily required to submit their secret nomination to Adnan Zaidi, the ICC&rsquo;s Audit Committee chairman (PricewaterhouseCoopers).
The confidential nominations will be studied and scrutinised by him and within two weeks, he will obtain consent of all candidates before the election.&rdquo;&nbsp;
&ldquo;England&rsquo;s Giles Clarke, who was keen on the post, has put his hands down and is now content with the Finance Committee chairmanship,&rdquo; the source added.&nbsp;
Unopposed? &ldquo;During the last ICC board meeting in Dubai, it was unanimously decided to have Manohar as chairman and therefore he is set to be elected unopposed.&nbsp; The two important posts (ICC chairman and Finance Committee chairman) will remain with India and England. This understanding was reached with all Board members,&rdquo; the source explained. Meanwhile, Manohar seemed to be &lsquo;relaxed&rsquo;, the morning after quitting the BCCI post. &ldquo;I am always relaxed&rdquo;, he emphasised.
