Sourav Ganguly praises Jay Shah's integrity and commitment during their BCCI tenure, noting his growth and principled work ethic, despite challenging times like the pandemic.

Ganguly Lauds Dedication of Jay Shah to Cricket

Reflecting on his time as BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly lauds Jay Shah, now ICC Chairman, for his commitment to Indian cricket. Despite initial expectations, Shah's dedication to principled work and supportive nature is praised by Ganguly.

Ganguly, reflecting on his presidency, commended Jay Shah's dedication to Indian cricket. Despite expectations of toughness, Shah showed honesty and commitment.

Reflecting on his eventful tenure as BCCI President, Sourav Ganguly has revealed that he expected a "certain kind of toughness and stubbornness" from the then Board secretary and current ICC chairman Jay Shah but was left impressed with his "honesty" and resolve to do things "properly".
Ganguly and Shah were colleagues at the world's richest cricket board from October 2019 to September 2022, navigating a tumultuous phase caused by the COVID-19 pandemic, which brought sporting activity to a grinding halt for few months.
"He (Jay) had his own way of doing things but the best thing about him was he wanted to do things properly for Indian cricket," Ganguly told PTI in an exclusive interview at his residence in Kolkata.
"See, he had the power, the support, so you expected certain kind of toughness, stubbornness from him but he would do things for Indian cricket," the iconic former captain explained, referring to Shah's status of being the son of Home Minister Amit Shah.
It was the first time that both Ganguly and Shah held BCCI positions. Before that, Ganguly had headed the Cricket Association of Bengal, while Shah was an office-bearer in the Gujarat Cricket Association.
While Ganguly was replaced by another former Test player Roger Binny in 2022, Shah continued as BCCI secretary till November 2024 before taking over as the youngest ever ICC chairman at 36 years of age.
Asked about how the power dynamics and relationship was between the scion of a political family and a celebrated cricket star, Ganguly said they shared a cordial equation which has continued to this date.
"Relationship was very good. It's still very good. When he came in September 2019...he was a young boy, straight from Gujarat CA, very cooperative, approachable," he recalled.
"Obviously, he had opinions and rightfully so, he wanted to do things and still does, he is the ICC chairman and it is a bigger post." Ganguly believes that with time, Shah became better at his job.
"He is very supportive of players. He got better as he learnt. The good thing about him was he wanted to do good for the game," the soon-to-be-53 superstar said.
The Kolkata-based legend said Shah was acutely aware of his status and always wanted to carry out his work in a principled manner.
"He is very honest, he always had the thought (about) who he was at the back of his mind, what baggage he carried. So, he wanted to do things rightfully and properly all the time.
"All of us made mistakes, I did, he did. It was never intentional but the game never stopped," Ganguly added.
The former captain said they do bump into each other occasionally.
"Obviously, he has progressed, he is the ICC Chairman now. You see him at times because you live in different cities. I am not involved in administration, I wish him the best.
"I saw him in England this time for a little bit. I meet him in ICC meetings because I am the chair of the (ICC cricket) committee and he wants the game to grow and go forward."

Jay Shah, youngest ICC chairman, to be felicitated at BCCI meeting for his global cricket impact and Olympics inclusion plans.

Jay Shah to Be Honored at BCCI SGM

Jay Shah, youngest ICC chairman, to be felicitated at BCCI meeting for his global cricket impact and Olympics inclusion plans.

Newly-elected International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman Jay Shah will be felicitated by the BCCI's state units on the sidelines of the Special General Meeting, scheduled in Mumbai on Sunday.
Shah, a former BCCI secretary, became the youngest ICC chairman after he was elected unopposed in August last year and took over the prestigious post on December 1. He replaced Greg Barclay who decided not to seek a third term.
Shah was the BCCI secretary since October 2019 and chairman of the Asian Cricket Council since January 2021.
Shah will be a "special invitee" to the SGM, convened to elect the new secretary and treasurer of the BCCI.
The cricket administrator has been at the forefront of expanding the game's imprint globally and recently met top officials of the 2032 Brisbane Olympics organising committee to discuss the sport's inclusion in the Summer Games.
Cricket will make a return to the Olympics after 128 years when it is played in the 2028 Los Angeles Games. The sport is not yet confirmed for the 2032 edition in Brisbane.
Australian newspaper, The Age, recently reported that Shah will meet meet Cricket Australia chair Mike Baird and his England counterpart Richard Thompson later this month to discuss the finer points of a two-tier Test system to facilitate more series between the big three nations.

Shah became the fifth Indian after the late Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar to be elected for the high-profile job.

Jay Shah elected unopposed, becomes youngest ever ICC chairman

Shah became the fifth Indian after the late Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar to be elected for the high-profile job.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah was elected unopposed as the next ICC chairman here on Tuesday, making him the youngest ever to reach the pinnacle of global cricket administration.
The 35-year-old Shah, who has been the BCCI secretary since 2019, will take over from 62-year-old incumbent Greg Barclay on December 1 after the New Zealander decided against running for a third consecutive term of two years.
Shah, who is the son of Union Home Minister Amit Shah, will relinquish his position in India at the BCCI's Annual General Meeting likely to be held towards the end of next month or in October.
Shah became the fifth Indian after the late Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar to be elected for the high-profile job.
The Ahmedabad-based administrator, who was the sole nominee for the chairmanship, emphasised his commitment to expanding the global reach and popularity of cricket, especially with its upcoming inclusion in the Los Angeles 2028 Olympics.
"I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council," Shah stated in an ICC release.
He also acknowledged that international cricket stands at a critical juncture and it would be important to balance the coexistence of multiple formats, promote the adoption of advanced technologies, and introduce marquee events to new global markets.
"I am committed to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to further globalise cricket. Our goal is to make cricket more inclusive and popular than ever before," he was quoted as saying in the release.
Being a powerful decision-maker in the richest cricket board of the world, which contributes more than 75 per cent of the revenue for the global body, Shah's election was never in doubt once he threw his hat in the ring.
It is understood that one among the powerful SENA cricket boards (South Africa, England, New Zealand and Australia) was Shah's proposer and another one of these countries seconded the nomination. And he remained the lone contender on the last day of nominations.
As per the ICC constitution, there are 17 votes -- 12 full Test playing nations, chairman, deputy chairman, two associate member nominees and one independent female director.
That he is a likely choice was evident when he was appointed the head of ICC's most powerful sub-committee -- the Finance and Commercial Affairs (F&amp;CA) in 2022.
The timing couldn't have been better for Shah, who would have had to go on a mandatory cooling off period in 2025 for a period of three years till 2028.
The BCCI constitution allows office-bearers to stay in office for a cumulative period of 18 years -- nine in national board and nine in state units.
But at a stretch, a person can remain office-bearer for a period of only six years after which a three-years cooling off period is necessary.
Shah, if all goes well, can have two terms in the ICC and come back to complete his remaining four years in BCCI in 2028 albeit as president of the board.
Challenges in ICC ============ The immediate task facing Shah will be the conduct of the Champions Trophy in Pakistan.
It must be noted that Shah, as chairman of Asian Cricket Council (ACC), was a big supporter of the Hybrid Model where Pakistan and Sri Lanka co-hosted the Asia Cup ODI event in 2023.
How ICC chairman Shah handles the matter remains to be seen considering that the Indian government might not allow the team to travel to Pakistan.
It is believed that the 'Hybrid Model' could again be the solution with Pakistan playing its matches at home and against India in Dubai.
The long term challenge would be to protect the future of Test cricket by having dedicated funds for the formats, keep ODIs sustainable and protect countries from losing core talent to freelancing in T20 leagues across the world.
Maintaining a calendar that is effective and allows players some breathing space along with means to earn well would also be high on his agenda.
Another important challenge is the promotion of cricket in the Olympics as it will make its debut at Los Angeles in 2028.
"While we will build on the valuable lessons learned, we must also embrace fresh thinking and innovation to elevate the love for cricket worldwide," Shah stated.
"The inclusion of our sport in the Olympics at LA 2028 represents a significant inflection point for the growth of cricket, and I am confident that it will drive the sport forward in unprecedented ways," he added.

T20 World Cup-winning skipper Rohit Sharma will continue to lead India in the ODI and Test formats BCCI secretary Jay Shah revealed.

Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, we will win WTC Final and Champions Trophy: Jay  Shah

Jay Shah is confident that Team India will win next year's Champions Trophy and World Test Championship under Rohit Sharma. Tap to head the full statement

T20 World Cup-winning skipper Rohit Sharma will continue to lead India in the ODI and Test formats BCCI secretary Jay Shah revealed.

T20 World Cup-winning skipper Rohit Sharma will continue to lead India in the ODI and Test formats BCCI secretary Jay Shah said on Sunday, exuding confidence that the country will win next year's Champions Trophy and World Test Championship under his captaincy.
37-year-old Rohit, who became the third Indian captain after legendary Kapil Dev and MS Dhoni to win a global trophy, has announced his retirement from the T20 format.
"The next stage is the WTC final and the Champions Trophy. I have full faith in Rohit Sharma's captaincy, that we will be the champions in both these tournaments," secretary Shah said in a video message.
The Champions Trophy, scheduled in Pakistan next year, will be held after 8 years (since 2017 in UK), and even though the draft schedule has been submitted to the ICC, the BCCI hasn't yet given its green light to it.
It is understood BCCI will again push for the 'Hybrid Model' like 2023 ODI Asia Cup where India played all its matches, including the ones against Pakistan, in Sri Lanka.
Shah's message, in a way, has put to rest speculations about whether Rohit would quit leadership role in other formats.
Till Rohit calls it quits, India will once again have split captaincy with Rohit leading in ODIs and Tests while Hardik Pandya is expected to take charge of the T20 outfit. Rohit had also led India to the finals of the WTC and ODI World Cup last year, where India lost the summit clash after winning 10 straight games.
Shah dedicated India's T20 World Cup triumph to the three cricketers, who quit the format after the title victory and outgoing coach Rahul Dravid. "I want to dedicate this victory to coach Rahul Dravid, captain Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja.
"This was our third final in the last year. We lost the WTC final in June, 2023. In November, 2023 we won hearts after 10 wins but couldn't win the Cup. I had said in Rajkot that we will win the heart and also the Cup on June 24 and install our national flag, and our captain installed the Indian flag," the secretary said.
Rohit, Kohli and Jadeja are expected to comeback for the ODI series against Sri Lanka slated for August.
India will play six ODIs - three against Sri Lanka in an away series and three at home against England in early February before the Champions Trophy.

Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), dismissed rumours that former Australian cricketers, such as Ricky Ponting, have been contacted for the position of India's head coach.


BCCI secretary Jay Shah denies approaching ex-Australian stars for India's head coach role

Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), dismissed rumours that former Australian cricketers, such as Ricky Ponting, have been contacted for the position of India's head coach.

BCCI secretary Jay Shah rejected claims that the Board has approached any former Australian cricketer to take over the job of India's head coach, a position which will be left vacant by the exit of Rahul Dravid after the T20 World Cup next month.
While Dravid has reportedly told the board that he is not interested in a third stint, former Australian players like Ricky Ponting and Justin Langer have claimed that they have turned down approaches for the high-profile position.
"Neither I nor the BCCI have approached any former Australian cricketer with a coaching offer. The reports circulating in certain media sections are completely incorrect,&rdquo; Shah said in a statement.
Both Ponting and Langer are involved in the Indian Premier League as the head coaches of Delhi Capitals and Lucknow Super Giants respectively.
"Finding the right coach for our national team is a meticulous and thorough process. We are focused on identifying individuals who possess a deep understanding of the Indian cricket structure and have risen through the ranks," Shah said, dropping hints that Dravid's successor could well be an Indian.
The BCCI secretary also said that having in-depth knowledge of Indian domestic cricket will be one of the important criteria for appointing the next coach.
He said the understanding would be crucial to "truly elevate Team India to the next level." Former batter Gautam Gambhir, who is mentoring Kolkata Knight Riders right now, is speculated to be among the top contenders for the post.&nbsp;

Kishan and Iyer were left out after failing to show up for domestic engagements despite a directive from the BCCI. However, Iyer did feature in a few matches for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy including the semifinal and the final.

Ajit Agarkar behind removal of Ishan Kishan, Shreyas Iyer from BCCI central contracts' list: Jay Shah

Kishan and Iyer were left out after failing to show up for domestic engagements despite a directive from the BCCI. However, Iyer did feature in a few matches for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy including the semifinal and the final.

The exclusion of Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer from the list of centrally-contracted players was a decision that was solely taken by the chairman of selectors Ajit Agarkar, BCCI secretary Jay Shah has revealed, asserting that "nobody is indispensable".
Kishan and Iyer were left out after failing to show up for domestic engagements despite a directive from the BCCI. While Kishan went on a long break after the end of the ODI World Cup last year and remained unavailable until the IPL, Iyer eventually did feature in a few matches for Mumbai in the Ranji Trophy including the semifinal and the final.
However, Iyer still found himself at the receiving end after it emerged that he had attended a Kolkata Knight Riders' camp in Mumbai when his domestic side was busy playing a Ranji Trophy fixture.
"You can check the constitution. I am just a convener (of the selection meeting)," he said during a media interaction at the BCCI head office here on Thursday.
"That decision lies with Ajit Agarkar, even when these two players (Ishan Kishan and Shreyas Iyer) did not play domestic (cricket), the decision to drop them (from the central contracts list) was only his.
"My role is just to implement. And we have got new players (in place), like Sanju (Samson). Nobody is indispensable," he added.
Shah reiterated the Board's position that Indian players will have to prioritise domestic cricket.
In the days leading up to the contract snub, Shah had stated before the third Test between India and England in February this year that he would completely back the chief selector's decision for any action on players who do not comply with the Indian captain and team management's requirement for participation in domestic cricket.
Shah said he spoke with the players after their exclusion.
"Yes, I had spoken with them. Media had even carried the reports," he said.
"Even Hardik (Pandya) said if BCCI is considering me for white-ball, then I am ready to play Vijay Hazare Trophy and Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy. Any player will have to play, even if they do not want to, they will have to," Shah continued.
Talking about high scores in this year's IPL, Shah said ultimately, it comes down to who is playing well and who, as a player, can sustain performance.
"Whoever plays well in the IPL... like say, Ishan Kishan, he finds it difficult to take part with the Indian team but he can play in Mumbai Indians as a player. There he can play in a relaxed manner.
"In Team India, you have to prove yourself, give back-to-back performances. The one who can handle that can be described as a right player," he added.
Shah also revealed details of his conversation with Kishan, which took place after Mumbai Indians' match against Gujarat Titans.
"No, I did not advise him anything. It was just a friendly talk that he should do well and I speak with all players like that," he said.
While there have been a few media reports mentioning an increase in the match fees for domestic players in the country, Shah said there is no such plan.
"We have increased the pay anyway and also incentivised Test cricket. We had increased the pay by 100 per cent in 2022," Shah added.

In preparation for the transition, the BCCI is considering all possibilities, including the potential appointment of a foreign coach, although the final decision will be made by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC).

BCCI to advertise for new head coach role for Team India, open to international candidates: Jay Shah

In preparation for the transition, the BCCI is considering all possibilities, including the potential appointment of a foreign coach, although the final decision will be made by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC).

The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is set to open applications for a new head coach's role, as announced by Secretary Jay Shah in Mumbai.
This development comes as the current tenure of head coach Rahul Dravid is scheduled to conclude in June. "We will call for applications in the next few days. Rahul Dravid&rsquo;s tenure is coming to an end in June. If he wants to reapply, he can," stated Shah during the announcement.
In preparation for the transition, the BCCI is considering all possibilities, including the potential appointment of a foreign coach, although the final decision will be made by the Cricket Advisory Committee (CAC).
Shah emphasized the global perspective of the board, saying, "We cannot determine whether the new coach will be Indian or foreign. It will be up to the CAC, and we are a global body." This approach signifies the BCCI's openness to diverse coaching talents, irrespective of nationality.
The selection of additional coaching staff such as batting, bowling, and fielding coaches will be determined in consultation with the newly appointed head coach.
Furthermore, Shah clarified the BCCI's stance on not dividing coaching responsibilities across different formats, a method currently employed by other cricket boards such as the England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). "There is no precedent of different coaches for different formats in Indian cricket. Besides, we have a number of all-format players. Ultimately, it will be the Cricket Advisory Committee&rsquo;s (CAC&rsquo;s) call. There are many all-format players, like Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma, and Rishabh Pant among others," he explained.
Regarding the new coach's tenure, Shah confirmed that the position would be a long-term appointment, with an initial period of three years. This duration underscores the BCCI's commitment to stability and long-term planning in team management.
Shah also discussed the continuation of the Impact Player rule in the Indian Premier League (IPL), noting that it would be evaluated after further discussions with team captains and coaches. The rule, which allows an extra two Indian players to be part of an IPL team&rsquo;s playing XI, has been a subject of debate. "Impact player was a test case. 2 new Indian players are getting a chance in the IPL," Shah remarked, indicating a positive outlook towards the rule&rsquo;s impact on player opportunities.
In closing, Shah touched on the importance of domestic cricket, stating that the decision to increase remuneration for domestic players would be left to the respective state associations. He also noted that Hardik Pandya, recently placed in Grade A of the Central Contracts, has committed to participating in domestic white-ball cricket.

There were speculations of him giving up the ACC presidency to become the new International Cricket Council (ICC) chief but those reports were not true. 

Jay Shah reappointed as Asian Cricket Council chief for third consecutive term

BCCI secretary Jay Shah was on Wednesday reappointed as the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) for the third consecutive term.

There were speculations of him giving up the ACC presidency to become the new International Cricket Council (ICC) chief but those reports were not true.&nbsp;

Indian Cricket Board (BCCI) secretary Jay Shah was on Wednesday appointed as the president of the Asian Cricket Council for a third consecutive term.
Shah's extension was proposed by the Sri Lanka Cricket president Shammi Silva for the second time and the nomination was unanimously backed by all the members of the ACC at its annual general meeting in Bali.
Shah initially assumed the role in January 2021, succeeding Bangladesh Cricket Board President Nazmul Hassan.
Under Shah's leadership, the ACC successfully organised the Asia Cup in T20 format in 2022 and in ODI format in 2023.
"I am grateful to the ACC Board for their continued trust. We must remain committed to ensuring the all-round development of the sport with a special focus on regions where it is still in its infancy. The ACC is committed to nurturing cricket across Asia," Shah said in a release.
"Under Shah's guidance, the ACC has been instrumental in unearthing and promoting new talent in cricketing powerhouses like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan, and Sri Lanka," Silva said.
Pankaj Khimji, chairman of Oman Cricket and vice-president of the ACC, also extended congratulations on Shah's term.
"Today, stakeholders see value in investing in tournaments that the ACC conducts, and I credit him for this major transformation, which will further fuel the growth of the game in the region," Khimji stated.
Welcoming the reappointment, Hassan said cricket in Asia will continue to prosper under Shah's leadership, emphasising collaboration with the ACC in furthering this endeavour.
