Manohar had said that he disapproved of the constitutional revamp made last year, which ensured the representatives of BCCI, ECB and CA to be part of an all decision-making process, with the three boards also standing to earn the highest percentage of the money accrued through the reformulated revenue model of the ICC.
Making a bold opening remark, Manohar was quoted as saying, "I don't agree with the three major countries bullying the ICC."
CSA lapped up Manohar's intent through the remark as Lorgat said "I would be less than truthful if I did not express enormous delight at Mr Manohar's comments".
The BCCI supremo also got praise from Sri Lanka Cricket, which showed its support by calling Manohar a "sensible man".
Chairman of the interim committee that governs SLC, Sidath Wettimuny said that he remained optimistic about Manohar.
"Shashank has spoken as if he was looking from a more global perspective than a board perspective, which I think is the correct thing to do as an ICC president. It's good to hear. He strikes me as a sensible man."
