BCCI congratulates Mr. Jay Shah on being elected unopposed as Independent Chair of International Cricket Council (ICC)
The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is pleased to announce the election of Mr. Jay Shah as the Independent Chair of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Mr. Shah was elected unopposed to the prestigious position, reflecting the unanimous support and confidence of the ICC’s Member Boards.
Mr. Shah’s journey to the top has been nothing short of inspirational. He started working in Cricket Administration at the District & State level in 2009, working with the Central Board of Cricket, Ahmedabad (CBCA) and the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) as an Executive. He became the Joint Secretary of the GCA back in 2013 and was instrumental in developing cricket in Gujarat at the grassroots level. He was a key figure in the restructuring and construction of the iconic Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, the world’s largest cricket stadium.
His significant contributions in the following years saw him being elected as the youngest BCCI Secretary in 2019. Mr. Shah’s tenure saw remarkable achievements – one of the most notable and historic being the Indian Premier League (IPL) five-year media rights deal in 2022, which was sold for an astronomical INR 48,390 crore.
In 2019, he was selected as the BCCI’s representative for future Chief Executive Committee (CEC) meetings of the ICC. In 2021, Mr Shah was appointed President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Later, in 2022, he became member of the Board of the ICC. At the beginning of 2024, his term as the president of the Asian Cricket Council was unanimously extended by one year, making him the youngest administrator to be reappointed as the ACC President.
From expanding the ACC’s reach to launching new tournaments and nurturing young talent, Mr Shah’s leadership has been visionary. By 2022, Mr Shah also became the head of the ICC’s Finance and Commercial Affairs (F&CA) Committee. He played a key role in advocating for cricket to be included in international events like the Commonwealth Games.
His progression across different roles over the years and his unique foresight about the game have had a transformative impact on cricket globally. Mr. Shah’s appointment as ICC’s Independent Chair marks a significant milestone in the governance of international cricket.
