The Indian official's current mandate expires in May next year, having become the ICC's first independent chairman in June 2016.

The ICC meets for its annual conference in Cape Town, South Africa, in July, and Manohar had been persuaded to stay in the role previously.

"I am not interested in continuing for another two-year term," Manohar told Indian newspaper The Hindu.

"Majority of directors have requested me to continue, but I have told them that I do not wish to do so.

"I have been the chairman for nearly five years - I am very clear I do not want to continue from June 2020.

"My successor will be known next May, he has to be elected in May to take charge after me at the annual conference."

In October, Manohar announced the commissioning of another review into international cricket's governance, with the move interpreted as a sign that he intended to stand for a new term.

It was in May 2018 that Manohar was confirmed for a second term as independent chairman, as the sole nominee put forward by the ICC Board.

Back in March 2017, Manohar agreed to defer his resignation, which he had announced earlier in the month, citing personal reasons.

This followed an ICC Board resolution request for him to remain in charge of cricket's global governing body.
