Let us remind you that Shah took over as BCCI secretary in 2019 and will complete 6 years in this post in 2025. Let us tell you that Shah is currently the head of Financial and Commercial Affairs in the ICC. The good thing is that Shah has very good relations with all 16 voting members.
It is also an astonishing fact that Jay Shah can create history by becoming the youngest ICC chairman at the age of only 35. Before him, Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar are the Indians who have held the post of ICC chairman.
