Delhi Cricket Developments Under Rohan Jaitley and ICC Reforms by Jay Shah

Jay Shah’s tenure as ICC Chairman has been marked by sweeping reforms that have reshaped Indian cricket. While serving as BCCI President, Shah introduced the historic decision to equalise the salaries of the men’s and women’s national squads, a move praised worldwide for promoting gender parity.

Under his guidance, India successfully hosted the 2023 ICC Men’s One Day International World Cup, showcasing organisational competence on a global stage. Shah is also steering cricket’s re‑entry into the Olympic programme for the first time in 128 years, with the sport slated for the 2028 Los Angeles Games. Additionally, cricket will feature at the 2026 Asian Games in Japan, further expanding its international footprint.

Beyond marquee events, Shah has championed infrastructure projects in emerging cricket nations. In August 2026, he inaugurated the new Tanzania Cricket Association Arena, a facility described as a pivotal milestone for African cricket development. Analysts anticipate more decisive actions from Shah in the months ahead.
