Virat Kohli has congratulated Jay Shah on his election as the new Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). On Tuesday, Shah, currently the BCCI Secretary, was elected unopposed and will replace Greg Barclay from December 1. He will serve a three-year term as the youngest-ever ICC Chairman. Shah is the fifth Indian to occupy this top ICC position.
Jay Shah is the youngest Indian among his predecessors—Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan, and Shashank Manohar—to assume this high-profile role. The Ahmedabad-based administrator was the sole nominee for the chairmanship.
