NEW DELHI (Reuters) - Newly-elected president Shashank Manohar vowed to clean the image of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) after being chosen on Sunday to head the world's richest cricket board for a second time.

A respected cricket administrator who does not carry a mobile phone or wear a watch, Manohar's unopposed election fills the void left by former International Cricket Council chief Jagmohan Dalmiya, who died last month.
