The current ICC Chairman is Greg Barclay from New Zealand, who has been in office since November 2020. If Jay Shah is elected to the position, he would follow in the footsteps of N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar to become the third Indian to hold this influential position in international cricket governance.

The chairman’s responsibilities include overseeing the administration of the sport, representing the ICC in international forums, and working towards the development and growth of cricket worldwide.

With India being one of the powerhouse cricketing nations, the election of Jay Shah could further strengthen India’s position in the ICC and its ability to shape the future of the sport.
This development comes at a time when cricket is undergoing significant changes, both on and off the field. The ICC has been working on various initiatives to expand the reach of the sport, enhance the quality of competitions, and address issues related to governance and integrity.
As Jay Shah prepares for a possible candidacy for the ICC Chairman post, the cricketing world awaits further developments in this story, which could have far-reaching implications for the future of international cricket.
