Jay Shah, the current secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), has been elected the new, unopposed chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). He will officially assume his position on December 1, 2024.
At this moment, he said, “I am honoured to be nominated as the Chair of the International Cricket Council.”
“I am dedicated to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to expand cricket globally. We are at a crucial moment where it’s essential to balance various formats, embrace new technologies, and bring our key events to new international markets. We aim to make cricket more inclusive and popular than ever,” he said.
“While we will build on what we’ve learned, we must also embrace new ideas and innovation to grow the love for cricket worldwide. Including cricket in the LA 2028 Olympics is a major milestone, and I’m confident it will help cricket advance in exciting new ways.”
Former ICC Chairman Greg Barclay announced on August 20 that he won’t contest again for his post to seek an extension of his tenure and will step down in November.
