Jay Shah Becomes Youngest ICC Chairman at 36

The former BCCI secretary takes charge with priorities including cricket's Olympic debut and resolving the Champions Trophy venue dispute.

Jay Shah, 36, has officially assumed the role of ICC Chairman, becoming the youngest person and fifth Indian to lead the global cricket body.
Shah's tenure begins with a focus on leveraging cricket's inclusion in the 2028 Los Angeles Olympics to expand the sport's global reach.
The ICC faces an unresolved dispute over the 2025 Champions Trophy venue, as India has refused to play in host nation Pakistan, prompting discussions about a hybrid model.
Shah aims to accelerate the growth of women's cricket and address challenges such as balancing multiple formats and supporting smaller cricketing nations.
Acknowledging his predecessor Greg Barclay, Shah emphasized collaboration with ICC members to seize new opportunities and elevate the sport worldwide.
