Jay Shah: Youngest ICC Chairman Set to Pioneer Cricket's Future

Jay Shah, known for his tenure as BCCI secretary, is set to become the youngest ICC Chairman. Lauded by legendary cricketer Sachin Tendulkar for prioritizing both men's and women's cricket, Shah is expected to continue building on India's legacy in global cricket administration.

Jay Shah, who has notably served as the BCCI secretary, is poised to become the youngest Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) from December 1. His efforts in promoting both men's and women's cricket have been lauded by cricket icon Sachin Tendulkar, who termed the Indian board as a 'pioneer' under Shah's leadership.

Shah's appointment at the age of 35 marks a new chapter in cricket administration, continuing the legacy of several prominent Indian figures who have previously led the ICC. Tendulkar expressed confidence that Shah's enthusiasm and drive would further advance the sport globally.

Shah's contributions to cricket have earned him congratulatory messages from former and current players, including Sourav Ganguly, Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Jasprit Bumrah, all wishing him success in his new role.
