Jay Shah has been appointed the President of the Asian Cricket Council for the third consecutive time. The proposal for extension of his tenure was made for the second time by Sri Lanka Cricket President Shammi Silva and the nomination was unanimously supported by all members of the ACC at the Annual General Meeting in Bali. Jay Shah’s term has not ended yet and yet he has been elected for the next term.

Gave thanks to ACC

Jay Shah said that I am grateful to the ACC Board for having faith in me. We must focus on ensuring all-round development of the game while paying special attention to those areas where it is still in its nascent stage. ACC is committed to promoting cricket across Asia. The election of ICC Chairman is to be held around November. There are also reports that Jay Shah may also contest the election of ICC Chairman. At present he is the Secretary of BCCI.

Sri Lanka Cricket President Shammi said that under the guidance of Jay Shah, ACC has played a vital role in uncovering and promoting new talent in cricketing superpowers like Bangladesh, India, Pakistan and Sri Lanka. Oman Cricket Chairman and ACC Vice President Pankaj Khimji also congratulated Jay Shah for his tenure. He said that today, stakeholders see the value in investing in the tournaments organized by the ACC and I credit them for this huge change.
