Jay Shah likely to replace Greg Barclay as ICC Chairman, says The Age reports

Jay Shah is one of the most powerful people in cricket and his tenure as BCCI General Secretary Jay Shah has seen India further establish their grip as the most powerful board in the sport. It now seems that Shah is likely to be named as the Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).

Current chair Greg Barclay announced his intentions to step down from his



post through a video conference amidst a 4.46 billion dollar dispute between the governing body and its major broadcast rights holder Star as reported by The Age.

The report further suggests that Shah has already acquired support from Australia and England, two of the leading figures in international cricket, for nomination and hopes to run the ICC for at least three years.
