India’s Jay Shah elected as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC)
Indian businessman Jay Shah has been elected as the next chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
The 35-year-old will become the youngest ever chairman of cricket’s governing body when he succeeds New Zealander Greg Barclay on 1 December.
Shah has been the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary since 2019 and was the sole candidate after Barclay decided against seeking a third term.
Upon his election, Shah said the goal “is to make cricket more inclusive and popular than ever before”.
The sport is returning to the Olympics after after a 128-year absence at the 2028 Los Angeles Games.
Shah, who is also president of the Asian Cricket Council, said its inclusion “represents a significant inflection point for the growth of cricket”.
He added: “I am confident that it will drive the sport forward in unprecedented ways.”
