Jay Shah’s Global Cricket Vision as New ICC Chairman

Jay Shah has officially been elected as the new Chair of the International Cricket Council (ICC), succeeding Greg Barclay. With a vision to globalize cricket, Shah aims to introduce advanced technologies and bring the sport to new markets. His unopposed election, following Barclay’s decision not to seek a third term, highlights the strong support within the cricketing community for Shah’s leadership and forward-looking approach.

As the Honorary Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) since 2019 and Chair of the Asian Cricket Council since 2021, Shah has a wealth of experience in cricket administration. His new role as ICC Chair will commence on December 1, 2024, marking a significant milestone in his career. Shah has expressed his commitment to expanding cricket’s reach and popularity globally, focusing on the coexistence of multiple formats, promoting advanced technologies, and introducing marquee events to new markets.

In his first statement after the election, Shah emphasized the importance of innovation and fresh thinking to elevate cricket’s appeal worldwide. He highlighted the inclusion of cricket in the 2028 Olympics as a key opportunity to drive the sport’s growth, particularly in regions where it has yet to gain popularity. Shah’s leadership is expected to bring about transformative changes that will make cricket more inclusive and widely enjoyed across the globe.

Shah’s appointment as ICC Chair requires him to step down from his role as BCCI Secretary by next year, as the ICC Chair is an independent position that cannot be held concurrently with other offices.
