At just 35 years old, he has become the youngest boss of the ICC (ICC New Chairman). This may sound a bit strange, but Jai Shah has shocked everyone with his hard work and understanding. Previously, Jai Shah held a large position in the Indian Cricket Control Board (BCCI). He then became the head of cricket in Asia. And now, he has become the boss of cricket all over the world (ICC New Chairman). This is not a minor thing!

ICC Election: An Exciting Story
- You must be wondering how Jai Shah reached such a big position. Let’s understand this funny story.
- A game is played to choose the president of the ICC. The game consists of 16 players who vote. One needs at least 9 votes to win. But something different happened this time.
- Jai Shah was the only player in this game! That is, there was no other candidate before him. It is just like you went to play a cricket match and the other team did not come. So you won on your own!
- This means that Jai Shah is so powerful and popular that no one else dared to stand against him. This thing is a little fun, isn’t it?
India’s growing dominance
Jai Shah’s becoming the boss of the ICC (ICC New Chairman) is not just his victory. This is the victory of the whole of India. This shows that India is now heard the most in the cricket of the world. Many Indians have been the boss of ICC (ICC New Chairman) before. But Jai Shah is the youngest boss (ICC New Chairman). This shows that new and young leaders are getting ready in India who are making their mark in the world.
upcoming challenges
But this is just the beginning for Jai Shah. They have many big challenges,
- Making Cricket More Fun: They have to find ways by which more people watch and play cricket.
- Spreading cricket in new countries: Cricket is popular in only a few countries. Jai Shah will have to make it popular in more countries.
- Helping Players: They have to see that all the players are treated well and they get the right facilities.
- Keeping cricket clean: They have to ensure that there is no disturbance in cricket and everything goes according to the rules.
Jai Shah’s becoming the boss of ICC (ICC New Chairman) can bring many changes in the cricket world. Maybe we will see new types of cricket matches soon. Or, teams from new countries are seen playing in the World Cup. One thing is certain: now the voice of India will be heard more in the world of cricket. And perhaps this brought Indian cricket to even greater heights.
