Rohan Jaitley denies reports of succeeding Jay Shah as BCCI Secretary

The DDCA President has confirmed that he will not be taking over the post of the next BCCI Secretary and replace Shah

Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA) President Rohan Jaitley has rubbished reports suggesting that he might become the next BCCI Secretary if Jay Shah is elected as the chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC). According to reports, Shah may replace the current ICC chairman Greg Barclay who has decided not to seek another tenure as ICC chief.

Last week, Barclay officially informed the ICC board that he will step down from his role as the ICC chairperson when his tenure concludes in November. 

With Barclay deciding to step down, Shah has emerged as the front-runner to take over as ICC Chairman. His elevation to the global level will cause a vacancy at the BCCI.

With Shah’s tenure coming to an end, it was expected that Jaitley would be the one to succeed him as the BCCI Secretary. However, on Monday, Jaitley denied all reports about him taking over assignments at the BCCI level.
