Jay Shah, sitting BCCI secretary is likely to file his nomination for ICC chairman, and if elected, DDCA president Rohan Jaitley is frontrunner to replace him as secretary of the governing body of Indian cricket. 

Jay Shah, son of Indian Home Minister Amit Shah, is one of the most influential and powerful administrators in world cricket. 

Under his reign, the BCCI scaled new heights in terms of revenue, and Team India ended the much-needed ICC trophy drought in Barbados.

However, Jay Shah now intends to expand his footprint globally and is expected to file his nomination to take over as ICC president. 

Meanwhile, Rohan Jaitley, Indian lawmaker and DDCA sitting president, is touted as the frontrunner to replace Jay Shah.
