Mr Pawar begins a two-year term as ICC President and he thanked Mr Morgan, a former chairman of the England and Wales Cricket Board, for his “impressive innings” as ICC President during the last two years with words to the effect, “David Morgan has set the principles by which the ICC operates and now it is our responsibility to build on his legacy.”
In turn Mr Morgan wished Mr Pawar, who has served as his ICC Vice President since 2008, the best of luck in the future whiel acknowledging his association with cricket, “In the past few days many people have thanked me for my contribution to cricket. All I would say is that cricket has been kind to me; it has given me much more than I have given back.”
The matter of the Vice President though continues to remain in limbo.
