Jay Shah, 35, has assumed the role of ICC chairman, succeeding Greg Barclay. As the youngest chair in ICC history, Shah's rise follows a transformative stint as BCCI secretary, during which he championed equal pay for women cricketers, hosted the first Women's Premier League, and strengthened India's global cricket dominance. His tenure also oversaw record-breaking media rights deals and pandemic-era IPL continuity. As ICC chief, Shah faces challenges such as resolving revenue-sharing concerns, fostering associate nations, and expanding women’s cricket. With a proven track record, Shah is expected to lead global cricket into a promising new era.
