Jay Shah, 35, was appointed as the youngest-ever Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday, succeeding Greg Barclay. Shah, previously the BCCI Secretary, aims to globalize cricket, with the inclusion of the sport in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics being a key goal. He expressed his commitment to promoting multiple formats, embracing new technologies, and expanding cricket into global markets. Shah's appointment means he will step down as BCCI Secretary, as the ICC Chair is now an independent post. Shah stated, "We stand at a critical juncture to elevate the love for cricket worldwide."
