In a significant shift in global cricket governance, Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is set to assume the role of Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in December 2024. Shah, who enjoys substantial support from key cricketing boards, including those of England and Australia, will replace the current chairman, Greg Barclay, whose tenure concludes in November. Rohan Jaitley is likely to succeed Shah as the next BCCI secretary, according to reports.
Shah’s appointment marks a historic moment as he will become the third Indian to hold this prestigious position, following in the footsteps of Jagmohan Dalmiya (1997-2000) and Sharad Pawar (2010-2012). At just 35, Shah will also become the youngest chairman in the history of the ICC.
