Jay Shah elected as new ICC chairman
Jay Shah has been elected unopposed as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), succeeding Greg Barclay. Incumbent BCCI secretary Jay Shah will assume charge on December 1, being the youngest chairman of the ICC. Since 2019, Jay Shah has been the secretary of Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). Greg Barclay had already declined to seek third term and Shah emerged as the sole candidate. Jay Shah, in a statement, put focus on advancing cricket.
“I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council,” Jay Shah stated in an ICC release.
“I am committed to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to further globalise cricket. We stand at a critical juncture where it is increasingly important to balance the coexistence of multiple formats, promote the adoption of advanced technologies, and introduce our marquee events to new global markets. Our goal is to make cricket more inclusive and popular than ever before.”
“While we will build on the valuable lessons learned, we must also embrace fresh thinking and innovation to elevate the love for cricket worldwide. The inclusion of our sport in the Olympics at LA 2028 represents a significant inflection point for the growth of cricket, and I am confident that it will drive the sport forward in unprecedented ways.”
