Jay Shah to become ICC president – Reports
ay Shah is likely to leave the BCCI to join the ICC. Reports suggest he is the top candidate to replace Greg Barclay as ICC chairman, since Barclay has chosen not to extend his contract. The deadline for applying is August 27, and Shah has yet to make a final decision. If Shah applies, he is expected to be elected unopposed. In Shah’s potential absence, DDCA president Rohan Jaitley is the leading candidate to take over as BCCI secretary.
