Before Jay Shah, four other Indians have led the ICC, including Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan, and Shashank Manohar. Jagmohan Dalmiya, the first Indian to become ICC President, held the position from 1997 to 2000. Sharad Pawar, a prominent Indian politician, served as ICC President from 2010 to 2012. N Srinivasan, former BCCI President, also chaired the ICC between 2014 and 2015.

Following N Srinivasan’s early departure, Shashank Manohar took over as ICC President in 2016. The appointment of the first independent female director in the ICC marked a significant milestone for the sport, signaling a positive change in international cricket’s landscape.

Jaisha will officially begin his term as ICC President on December 1, succeeding a line of distinguished Indian cricket administrators. His tenure is set for two years, making him the fifth Indian to lead the International Cricket Council.

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.
