At just 34 years old, Jai Shah will make history as the youngest person to assume the role of ICC chief. Greg Barclay’s term is scheduled to end on November 30, with Jai Shah officially assuming office on December 1. Barclay, who was unanimously elected in 2020 and re-elected in 2022, will not pursue a third term, paving the way for Jai Shah’s appointment.

With the deadline for nominations closed, Jai Shah emerged as the sole nominee for the chairman’s post, leading to his unanimous election by the ICC. Expressing his commitment to promoting cricket worldwide, Jai Shah looks forward to collaborating with nations to enhance the sport’s reach and popularity.

Numerous celebrities and cricket enthusiasts have extended their congratulations to Jai Shah on his new role, acknowledging his dedication and vision for the future of cricket.

Rumors swirl around the potential candidacy of Jay Shah for the prestigious position, with a decision expected by August 27. If Jai Shah assumes the role of ICC President, the focus shifts to who will take over as the Secretary of BCCI. Recent reports suggest that Rohan Jaitley, the President of DDCA, could be selected as the new Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India.

Rohan Jaitley, son of the late former Union Minister Arun Jaitley, has been a prominent figure in the Delhi and District Cricket Association for several years. Under his leadership, Delhi hosted five World Cup matches and launched the Delhi Premier League, attracting top Indian cricket stars. The consensus within BCCI appears to be in favor of Rohan Jaitley’s appointment as Secretary, while other officials are expected to retain their positions.

Should Jai Shah secure the ICC presidency, he would join a prestigious group of Indian cricket administrators, including Jaganmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan, and Shashank Manohar. The election process for the ICC President involves 16 directors casting votes, with 9 votes needed for victory. Reports indicate overwhelming support from 15 out of 16 ICC board members for Jaisha Ney, positioning the 35-year-old to potentially become the youngest chairman in ICC history.
