During his presidency, India became the number-one-ranked Test side and won the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup, defeating Sri Lanka by 6 wickets in the final.
Modi could have received his first 'reprimand' from Manohar back in March 2010, but former India captain Sunil Gavaskar, then a member of the Governing Council, requested that the 'reprimand' not be recorded.
[23] Manohar had advised the IPL governing council to first take permission from RBI and only then open an account in South Africa.
If you had the slightest of conscience, self-esteem and care for the board, you ought to have put in your papers the moment your son-in-law (Gurunath Meiyappan) was arrested [for betting in IPL.
The meeting was called after several state associations wrote to the BCCI interim president (administration) Shivlal Yadav, demanding a discussion on the ongoing issues.
[29][30] Manohar had said in the April 2014 Working committee meeting that Justice Mudgal who is completely unbiased and can effectively probe the scam with the help of CBI instead of the 3 members elected by Srinivasan's cronies.
[29] In April 2014 the Supreme Court of India appointed probe commission headed by (Retd) Justice Mukul Mudgal to investigate the betting and match fixing scandal in the IPL.
The committee also included Additional Solicitor General L Nageswara Rao, advocate Nilay Datta, Deputy DG (Narcotics Control Bureau) BB Mishra, Vidushpat Singhania (Secretary) and the police departments in Delhi, Mumbai and Chennai to assist the investigation.
In November 2014 in response to the final submission of the Mudgal Committee Report, a special bench of the Supreme Court of India comprising justice TS Thakur and FM Kalifullah has named and issued notices to four key individuals including N Srinivasan and Gurunath Meiyappan in connection with the Mudgal report into the 2013 IPL spot-fixing case, which, the court observed, had suggested several "misdemeanours" by the duo.
"It appears that during today's hearing, as soon as the names of Srinivasan and Meiyappan were disclosed, the counsel for the BCCI made a request for the postponement of the AGM and elections scheduled on November 20," Manohar said.
The then former BCCI president argued that since the Supreme Court has named Srinivasan and his son-in-law Gurunath Meiyappan, it means there are allegations of corruption against them in the report.
[32][33][34] Less than 24 hours after refusing to be part of any alliance involving Srinivasan, Manohar emerged as the clear favourite to succeed the late Jagmohan Dalmiya as the president.
According to media reports, Manohar's candidature had been endorsed by Sharad Pawar, Arun Jaitley and his protege Anurag Thakur, the BCCI secretary.
[36] It took a lot of persuasion from Union Finance Minister Arun Jaitley and Anurag Thakur to convince a reluctant Manohar to take up the top job all over again.
The deal was clinched when Pawar, the leader of Manohar's group, also gave his go-ahead in the matter along with former treasurer Ajay Shirke, a senior BCCI official told PTI.
[6] "In last few days the confidence of cricket loving fans has shaken due to certain unpleasant things that have happened," Manohar said at a press conference after his election.
3) Getting member associations' accounts in order: The board will appoint auditors to make sure that the huge money paid by the BCCI it is spent on cricketing activities or not otherwise.
Reinvigorate Women's cricket Srinivasan was removed as the ICC Chairman on 9 November 2015 after the BCCI decided to recall him and nominate its recently elected President Shashank Manohar as the chief of the world body.
VR Manohar (known as "The" मनोहर वकील)[clarification needed] was the Advocate General of Maharashtra during the Chief ministership of Sharad Pawar and also served as the President of Vidarbha Cricket Association in the past.
Shashank's paternal grandfather RK Manohar was also a lawyer and was associated with the Bharatiya Jana Sangh and he contested an election on its ticket.
