The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah is reportedly set to become the next chairman of International Cricket Council. The current chairman of ICC, Greg Barclay second term at the helm will come to an 30th of November and has opted out for the 3rd team.
The New Zealand-based attorney Barclay has completed 4 years of his term as the chairman of the International Cricket Council. Greg Barclay was first elected to the post of ICC chairman in 2020 before he was re-elected for a second term in 2022. As per the statement by ICC. Barclay won’t pursue for the third term as he will step down after his second term comes to an end.
With Greg Barclay’s 2nd term coming to an end in November, reports emerged that Jay Shah is likely to be the next chairman of the International Cricket Council. The BCCI secretary is a frontrunner for the role and reportedly he has the support of Australia and England.
Though Jay Shah and BCCI haven’t officially announced about contesting election for the ICC chairman role, the speculations are rife that the BCCI secretary is expected to be at the helm of the world’s governing body for cricket. With reports of Jay Shah likely to take over as the head of ICC, the netizens sparked meme fest.
Taking to their X handle (formerly Twitter), netizens heavily trolled the Pakistan Cricket Board over the possibility of next year’s Champions Trophy moving out of Pakistan once Jay Shah becomes the ICC chairman. Some of the fans hilariously said that Shah will have scripted plan against Pakistan.
