"Jay Shah" will become the youngest chairman of ICC!
Jay Shah, the current secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), can become the new chairman of ICC.
In fact, current chairman Greg Barclay has made it clear that he is not willing to contest for this post for the third time. Barclay's term ends on November 30, 2024. In such a situation, ICC will soon get a new president and BCCI Secretary Jay Shah is a strong candidate for this post. Before him, India's N Srinivasan (2014-15) and Shashank Manohar (2015-2020) had held the post of president.
35-year-old Jay Shah can become the youngest chairman of ICC and during this time he can join the list of Indian stalwarts who have led the ICC before.
- Big question: Who will be the secretary of BCCI after Jay Shah?
Anurag Thakur
Former Union Sports Minister Anurag Thakur has the upper hand as he has good experience of cricket operations. He has also been the BCCI President.
Devajit Saikia
BCCI Joint Secretary Devajit is also a strong contender. He also has good experience. Senior lawyer Devajit has been the secretary of Assam Cricket Association.
