According to board sources, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) will congratulate Jay Shah, the head of the International Cricket Council (ICC), during its Special General meeting on January 12. Shah is not going to attend the meeting. According to the sources, he will just be congratulated.
The new secretary and treasurer of BCCI will be chosen at a special general meeting of the board.
Notably, on December 1st, Jay Shah, the former secretary of the BCCI, assumed the role of chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
On December 1, Shah, a former secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), began his role as head of the ICC. He began his career with the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) in 2009 and offers a wealth of cricket administration expertise. He was in charge of the construction of Ahmedabad’s Narendra Modi Stadium, the biggest cricket stadium in the world. Additionally, for the first time ever, India hosted the entire 2023 Cricket World Cup with success.
Just two days ago, the International Cricket Council (ICC) made the first significant decision under Jay Shah’s chairmanship, resolving the Champions Trophy 2025 hosting rights dispute and deciding that Pakistan and another neutral location would host the forthcoming tournament. Additionally, all ICC events in the 2024–2027 cycle that will take place in India or Pakistan will use the hybrid model.
“The ICC Board has today approved that matches between India and Pakistan played at ICC Events during the current rights cycle from 2024 to 2027 (which are to be hosted in India or Pakistan) will be played at a neutral venue proposed by the tournament host. This will apply to the ICC Men’s Champions Trophy 2025 (Pakistan), ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 (India) and the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 (India and Sri Lanka),” a statement said.
As a member of the Mahayuti alliance, which consists of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), the Nationalist Congress Party (NCP), and the Shiv Sena, Ashish Shelar, the former treasurer of the BCCI, was recently elected as a member of the Legislative Assembly following the conclusion of the Maharashtra elections.
