Whom among the following stepped down as the Chairman of International Cricket…

Concept

This is a current-affairs recall question. The key is to fix the EXACT role and the EXACT date, because the same organisation has several distinct leadership posts (Chairman vs Chief Executive Officer) and several individuals who held cricket-administration roles in nearby years. Match the person to BOTH the office (ICC Chairman) AND the event (stepped down on 15 March 2017).

Application

On 15 March 2017, Shashank Manohar stepped down as Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), citing personal reasons. He had taken over as the first independently elected ICC Chairman in 2016, so the office and the date both point to him.

Cross-check (the near-misses)

• David Richardson held the ICC's Chief Executive Officer (CEO) post, an administrative role distinct from the Chairman, so the date does not apply to him as Chairman.

• N. Srinivasan chaired the ICC in an earlier period (around 2014-2015) and was not the office-holder who departed on this 2017 date.

• Zaheer Abbas is a former Pakistan batsman whose ICC link was the older, largely ceremonial post of President, abolished before 2017, and he was not the person who stepped down on this date.

Result: the office is ICC Chairman and the date is 15 March 2017, which identifies Shashank Manohar.
