Jay Shah has been confirmed as the next ICC Chairman, and the current BCCI secretary is all set to take on his new role pretty soon. The current ICC Chairman Greg Barclay doesn’t want to extend his third for the third successive time; hence, Jay Shah emerged as the only candidate for this role.
Hence, the BCCI Secretary has now become the youngest to lead the ICC globally. The 36-year-old will take on his responsibility on December 1, 2024, as Barclay’s stint will end on November 30th. Being an influential figure in cricket, there was no other candidate, and Shah won the election unopposed.
He will have to leave his current role at BCCI, which is likely to end in 2015, but he has to relinquish this role. With Shah becoming the new ICC head, we will check about his current net worth.
