Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Rohan Jaitley has dismissed rumours that he might succeed Jay Shah as the next BCCI secretary if he is appointed chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). 

Earlier, there were reports that the late Arun Jaitley's son Rohan Jaitley is to replace Jay Shah as the BCCI secretary, in case Shah gets elected as the next ICC chairman.

Rohan Jaitley Clarifies On The Role As BCCI Secretary

Reports have suggested that Jay Shah, currently the BCCI secretary and secretary of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), is the leading candidate to become the next ICC Chairman following Greg Barclay's decision not to seek another term. 

Barclay, who has served as ICC Chair since November 2020, will step down when his tenure ends in November 2024.

 If Jay Shah assumes the ICC Chairman role, his departure would create a vacancy at the BCCI. Despite speculation that Rohan Jaitley might fill this position. 

However, according to the reports of NDTV Sports, he clarified that he has no plans to take over at the BCCI and is instead focused on enhancing the popularity and functioning of the DDCA.

Rohan Jaitley is the son of the late politician Arun Jaitley, who was a prominent figure in Indian politics and also a former DDCA president. 

Under Rohan Jaitley's leadership, the DDCA has seen several developments, including the ongoing Delhi Premier League, which is taking place at the Arun Jaitley Stadium.
