Former BCCI president Shashank Manohar has been elected unopposed as independent ICC Chairman on 12 May.
The newly-elected chairman of the cricket body has said he is hopeful about shaping the "future of cricket".
"Look forward to working with all stakeholders to shape the future of cricket, which has a proud history and rich tradition," ANI quoted Shashank Manohar.
He had resigned as President of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), on 10 May.
Sources had claimed that Manohar resigned so he could compete for the post of independent chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Reports also added that Manohar was "keen" for a full term as ICC chairman as the current term is about to expire.
