Cricket News Desk. All eyes will be on BCCI Secretary Jay Shah during the four-day ICC Annual Conference starting in Colombo. In this event, there can be a serious debate on when he will take over as ICC President.
An ICC source gave this information
However, an ICC source said that it remains to be seen when Shah will take over as the President. An ICC source said, 'The issue is not how it will happen, but when it will happen. Because he still has one year left on the post of BCCI Secretary. After which, according to the constitution, his break (cooling off period) in the Indian board will start in 2025. However, if he takes charge in 2025, Barclay will not be able to complete his third two-year term from December 2024 to December 2026.
What is the cooling off period?
An ICC source has mentioned the cooling off period. In such a situation, it is important to know what this rule of BCCI is? Actually, according to the new rules of BCCI, an administrator can serve continuously for only 6 years (two terms of 3 years each). An ICC source said, 'One idea is that if the tenure of the ICC Chairman is changed from two-three years to three-three years, then the total tenure will be only six years.'
Jay Shah has a golden opportunity
It is believed that if Barclay's (current ICC president) current term is three years, Shah can complete six years as BCCI secretary. In such a situation, he can become ICC President for three years in 2025, during which his break from BCCI will begin. Then in 2028, he can return to BCCI and become the president of the board.
