Ever since Jay Shah was appointed as the head of the International Cricket Council (ICC), the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has been in turmoil.
It’s a turn that has taken the entire cricketing system by storm and everyone is questioning – “What’s happening?”
Jay Shah’s joining the ICC is not just a simple assignment but a big strategic move. His new avatar has left a huge void in the BCCI.
Ever since he took charge of the ICC on December 1, there has been a big question mark over the post of BCCI secretary. His move has created a stir in cricket administration that has not been seen in the last many years.
Jay Shah’s entry into ICC: Why a headache for BCCI?
Jay Shah joining the ICC is a turning point that has shaken the entire cricket system. Since he joined the ICC two months ago, there has been an atmosphere of great uncertainty in the BCCI.
The big question is, who will replace Jay Shah? Will Devajit Saikia or Anil Patel take up this important post?
The atmosphere inside the BCCI is so boiling that everyone is silent and no one knows anything.
“We don’t know what’s going on,” a source said. Everyone is silent on this.”This situation is so complicated that no one has yet clearly said who will replace Jay Shah.
Jay Shah’s joining the ICC is not just a personal move but a major change in the entire cricket system. His departure has left a huge void in the BCCI, and the question now is whether Devajit Saikia or Anil Patel will be able to hold this important position.
What will be the BCCI’s next move?
The BCCI has time till January 15 to announce the name of the new secretary. As per the rules of the board, a new member can be announced after the general body meeting within 45 days of the resignation of any office bearer. But there are no clear signs of that yet.
There are many interesting twists and turns in this whole episode. Jay Shah has been the secretary of the BCCI since 2021, and now his joining the ICC is being considered a big political move. After his departure, there has been a lot of discussion in the BCCI.
So far, two names are at the forefront – Devajit Saikia and Anil Patel. Who among the two will become the new BCCI secretary is still a big mystery. Many are assuming that Devajit Saikia can be seen as the interim secretary, but the final decision is yet to be taken.
That is why Jay Shah’s inclusion in the ICC has become a big headache for the BCCI. Now it has to be seen what happens next and who takes over this important post.
