Jagmohan Dalmiya, the former president of the Indian board, has tendered his resignation ''with immediate effect'' from the position of the president of Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and from that of the Afro-Asian Cricket Corporation (AACC). This comes in the wake of the Indian board elections, where the Dalmiya camp was thwarted by a thumping margin, thereby ending his stranglehold over Indian cricket that lasted more than two decades.

In a letter, addressed to Sharad Pawar, the newly elected president of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), Dalmiya said that his decision to quit had been a result of the recent events in the Indian board.

Dalmiya was the first president of the AACC, being elected unanimously in 2004, but added, "'In the wake of the recent changes in the BCCI, I feel that it is only appropriate that I tender my resignation with immediate effect from both the positions. Nonetheless, I can assure you of my full support and cooperation as and when required on any matter concerning Indian or international cricket."
