ICC Chairman Jay Shah Meeting Olympic Committee: As soon as Jay Shah became the new chairman of ICC, he has started working towards giving cricket a new place in the world. He has met the 2032 Olympic Organizing Committee in Brisbane. Let us tell you that the 2032 Olympics is to be organized in Brisbane, Australia and it has already been announced that cricket will also be included in these games. In fact, the game of cricket would have returned 4 years before this, i.e. in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics.
Former BCCI Secretary and current ICC Chairman Jay Shah has shared a video clip on social media, in which some excerpts from the meeting are shown. Let us tell you that Jay Shah also has a big role in the return of cricket in the 2028 Olympics and he is definitely going to try hard to make this game popular across the world. Devjit Saikia is also present in Brisbane, who has recently been appointed interim secretary of BCCI.

Jay Shah’s arrival in Australia amid the Champions Trophy controversy is telling a lot. Let us tell you that Australia is one of the supporters of BCCI in the Champions Trophy issue and the presence of Devjit Saikia, Joint Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India, there makes the relationship between BCCI and CA even stronger. Recall that Jay Shah was invited by Cricket Australia and New South Wales for the Sydney Test starting from January 3.
Earlier, the director of 2028 Los Angeles Olympics, Niccolo Campriani, had made it clear that Virat Kohli also has a big contribution in the return of cricket. Considering Kohli’s popularity, bringing cricket in the 2028 Olympics will prove to be a profitable deal. Meanwhile, Jay Shah’s meeting with the 2032 Brisbane Olympic Committee can be considered as an indication that the idea of organizing the cricket tournament on a very large scale is being considered, while the number of teams can also be increased to a great extent in the next 8 years.
