The election for the next chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is set for November this year. Current chairman Greg Barclay, eligible for another term after four years, faces potential competition from BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who may become the youngest-ever ICC chairman if elected.
The ICC will discuss the election timeline at its annual conference in Colombo later this July, according to reports on Cricbuzz. Shah, known for his involvement in cricket administration since 2009 and his tenure as BCCI secretary from 2019, aims to reform ICC operations, especially after recent controversies surrounding the T20 World Cup.
Recent changes stipulate the ICC chairman serves a three-year term with the option for reelection once, down from two previous terms. Shah’s efforts in Indian cricket, including initiatives like the Women’s Premier League and equal pay for women’s teams, have earned praise from figures like Sunil Gavaskar, despite criticism linked to his father’s political role.
