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.
