ICC Chair Jay Shah visits Dubai headquarters


  • Newly elected ICC Chair Jay Shah commenced his tenure with a trip to ICC Headquarters.

Jay Shah visited the ICC Headquarters in Dubai for the first time in his role as ICC Chair on 5 December, where he met with the ICC Board Directors and staff.

“This visit provided an invaluable opportunity to connect with my colleagues on the ICC Board where we discussed the initial roadmap and strategies to shape the future of this incredible sport,” Shah said, after his visit.

"I was equally delighted to meet with the dedicated ICC team working tirelessly behind the scenes to propel cricket forward.”

Shah described his visit as “productive and inspiring”, and acknowledged the long road ahead. “While I am encouraged by what I have seen, I recognize that this is just the beginning. The hard work to elevate cricket to unprecedented heights starts now, and I am confident that together, we will deliver on this vision."
