The BCCI is known to be one of the strongest boards in the sport of cricket. Jay Shah was appointed as the secretary of the BCCI in 2019 following his tenure as the joint secretary of the Gujarat Cricket Association before joining the BCCI. He has been awarded with the Sports Business Leader of the Year 2023.

With an eventful year in the cricket world considering the happening of the World Cup 2023 and ACC Asia Cup 2023, Jay Shah was one of the key players of the governing bodies, who made both events successful.

He has been serving as the secretary of the BCCI since 2019 and was appointed as the president of the Asian Cricket Council earlier this year. For the first time in the history of cricket, BCCI got the opportunity to host the entire World Cup in India and it turned out to be an amazing event.
