If Jay Shah Becomes ICC Chairman, This Official Likely To Be BCCI Secretary

BCCI secretary Jay Shah is all set to mount the saddle as the next ICC Chairman, although there remains no clarity on whether he has decided to file his nomination for the post. Numbers surely favour the 35-year-old, who has the backing of almost 15 of the 16 members in the ICC board, but has less than 24 hours to decide on join the world governing body, with the last date for filing nomination being August 27. However, the bigger questions remains, who would replace Shah in BCCI?

Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Rohan Jaitley

According to a report in Dainik Bhaskar on Monday, Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) president Rohan Jaitley has emerged as the strongest contender to replace Shah as the new BCCI secretary and there is a general consensus over his name in the Indian board.

Rohan, born in New Delhi, is the son of late Arun Jaitley, a politician who served as India's Finance Minister. Following the footsteps of his father, Rohan too became a lawyer, who focuses on cases before the Supreme Court of India and the Delhi High Court, and earlier this year was named as a Central Government Standing Counsel for the Delhi High Court.
