August 21, 2024: The Board of Control Cricket in India (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah is all set to replace the incumbent Greg Barclay as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Barclay told ICC directors, including Cricket Australia’s chair Mike Baird, that he has no intention of running for the post, for the third term during a video conference.

His decision comes after being informed of Jay Shah’s intentions to replace him in November. Shah has the backing of cricket boards from England and Australia, and hence, has the numbers to be crowned as the chief of the ICC.

Jagmohan Dalmiya (1997 to 200), Sharad Pawar (2010-2012) as presidents and N Srinivasan (2014 to 2015) and Shashank Manohar (2015 to 2020) as chairmen, are the only four Indians who have headed ICC in the past. Shah, who is also the son of India's home minister Amit Shah, will become the third to do so when he officially replaces Barclay in November.
