Since October 2019, Jay Shah has been the BCCI’s secretary and the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council since January 2021. He will attend the Special General Meeting as a “special invitee”. The meeting has been called to officially elect the BCCI’s new secretary and treasurer.
During the meeting, Jay Shah will be honored. The BCCI is expected to appoint Devajit Saikia as the new secretary and Prabhtej Singh Bhatia as the new treasurer. Shah was appointed ICC chairman in August 2024, taking over from Greg Barclay, and began his role on December 1.
Jay Shah and Ashish Shelar previously vacated the positions of secretary and treasurer. Shah made a significant impact during his time as BCCI secretary, which is why he is being honored. His contributions played a key role in shaping the board’s success, making the recognition well-deserved.
