Jay Shah
Jay Amitbhai Shah (born 22 September 1988) is an Indian cricket administrator and businessman, and the chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) since December 2024. He was the president of the Asian Cricket Council, establishing himself as one of the most influential figures in global cricket governance. He is the son of Amit Shah, India's Minister of Home Affairs. He is the third Indian to become chairman of the International Cricket Council, after N. Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar.
Jay Shah was born to Indian Home Minister Amit Shah and Sonal Shah in Ahmedabad, Gujarat, India, on 22 September 1988.
After being an executive board member of the Central Board of Cricket, Ahmedabad, starting 2009, Shah was made the joint secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association (GCA) in September 2013. During his tenure as joint secretary, he oversaw GCA's construction of the Narendra Modi Stadium, in Ahmedabad, along with his father Amit Shah who was GCA president at the time.
Shah became a member of the finance and marketing committees of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) in 2015. He stepped down from the position of GCA joint secretary in September 2019. The following month, he was elected as the secretary of BCCI, the youngest of the five office bearers. In October 2022, Shah was re-elected as Secretary of BCCI.
In 2022, Jay Shah led the BCCI's record breaking Indian Premier League (IPL) media rights deal, where the five-year rights for the league were sold for a total of ₹48,390 crore, making the IPL the second-most valued sporting league in the world (the first is the National Football League) in terms of per match value.
In January 2021, Asian Cricket Council appointed Shah as President. In January 2024, Shah was re-elected as Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president. The ACC top spot is rotated among full-members in Asia. It was going to be Sri Lanka's turn next, but Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC) chief Shammi Silva proposed Shah's extension, which the other members accepted.
In December 2019, the BCCI selected Shah as its representative for future CEC meetings of International Cricket Council. In April 2022, Jay Shah was also appointed as ICC Board Member Representative and in November 2022, Shah was elected as the head of ICC's all powerful Finance and Commercial Affairs (F&CA) committee at the board meeting.
Shah had also been instrumental within the ICC Olympics Working Group, in sealing cricket's participation in 2028 Olympics. He was a strong advocate of including it in the Commonwealth Games and recent Asian Games, and will now historically be part of the Olympic Games for the first time since 1900.
