MUMBAI/NEW DELHI: Indian cricket board’s incumbent secretary Jay Shah on Tuesday became the youngest independent chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Shah, 35, was elected unopposed after current chairman Greg Barclay refused to seek a third term.
He is the fifth Indian – after Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar – to be elected to this high-profile position. “I am humbled by the nomination as the ICC chair,” Shah said. He will have to quit as BCCI secretary before taking up the ICC job.
