Gavaskar resigns as ICC Cricket Committee Chairman

Indian batting legend Sunil Gavaskar, who was facing considerable flak for his dual role as the chairman of the International Cricket Council's cricket committee and TV commentator, has resigned from that post.

The former India captain was asked to choose between his position with the ICC and his job as a paid media pundit after concerns about a conflict of interest. Gavaskar confirmed his decision to the ICC on Wednesday.
