“I would like to thank the ICC Chairman, the Board and the entire cricketing community for their support and cooperation over the past 13 years. I believe that this is the right time for me to step down and pursue new challenges. I am confident that there are exciting times ahead for cricket. I wish the ICC and the global cricket community every success in the future.”
