Jay Shah is the new and youngest ICC chairman, elected unopposed

Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), was elected unopposed as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) on Tuesday. At 35, Shah is set to become the youngest person to lead the global cricket governing body after submitting his nomination on the deadline day.

He will succeed Greg Barclay, who chose not to seek a third term after assuming the role in 2020. Shah will officially take over as the ICC chair on December 1, 2024.

Earlier this month, the ICC announced that elections for the chairman position would only be held if more than one candidate was nominated. On Tuesday, it was confirmed that Shah was the sole nominee for the top job.

It remains to be seen who will assume the role of BCCI secretary when Shah vacates the position at the end of November.
