BCCI secretary Jay Shah, who is set to become the next chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), has more reasons to celebrate as he has been blessed with a baby boy. The news, as broken out by IPL chairman Arun Dhumal during the IPL 2025 mega auction, added more excitement to cricket’s biggest bidding event.

Dhumal congratulated Jay Shah, and described him as “India’s off field captain” to kick off the IPL auction proceedings. Interestingly, India’s on-field captain Rohit Sharma also became a father to his second child earlier this month, which prompted him to miss his team’s series-opening first Test match against Australia in Perth.

In regards to Jay Shah, the Indian cricket administrator is set to assume the role of ICC Chairman in December. Back in August earlier this year, he was elected as the next ICC Chairman as a replacement of New Zealand’s Greg Barclay.

As of now, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) is looking for a suitable candidate to replace Jay Shah as the board’s secretary. While recent rumors have indicated that Rohan Jaitley might take over the responsibility, another report clarified that no single name has been finalized yet by the Indian cricketing officials.
