Jay Shah Will Not Resign As BCCI Secretary

By Ian Omoro The 31-year-old Shah was appointed BCCI secretary in 2019, assuming what is perhaps the most influential position in all of cricket, not just in India. Shah's elevation was subtle yet noteworthy, whereas Sourav Ganguly's selection as BCCI president grabbed media attention at the time. After a turbulent period marked by a lot of back and forth between the Supreme Court and the Committee of Administrators, a new regime was taking over BCCI. Shah was re-elected without opposition in 2022, and Ganguly was replaced by Roger Binny. With no intention of stepping down before then, Jay Shah will hold the position of BCCI secretary till the end of November. The purpose of Wednesday's meeting of the BCCI Apex Council is to discuss several operational-related problems. This meeting's agenda does not, however, include the appointment of a new secretary to succeed departing Jay Shah. Five days remain until the board's 93rd Annual General Meeting in Bengaluru, and this will be the last apex council meeting bef
