Who will be the next secretary of BCCI after Jay Shah?? These three people are the right candidates for that post
Jay Shah can become the next chairman of ICC. Jay Shah (Image Credit- Twitter X) Who Will Be Next BCCI Secretary after Jay Shah? Current BCCI secretary Jay Shah may become the next chairman of the ICC. 15 out of 16 members are supporting him for this. However, it is not clear who will replace him as BCCI secretary if he joins the ICC. Shah has less than 96 hours to decide, as the last date for filing official nominations is August 27. The new ICC chairman will take charge on December 1. The mandatory three-year cooling-off period for returning to BCCI will begin for Shah after the completion of his term in October 2025. If Jay Shah becomes the next chairman of ICC, then the biggest question is who will be the next secretary of BCCI. So let us tell you the names of those candidates who can become the next secretary of BCCI. Three people who can become the next secretary of BCCI after Jay Shah Rajeev Shukla: It is expected that the BCCI will reshuffle the posts and the current vice-president Shukla, who is also a Congress MP in the Rajya Sabha, may be asked to hold the post for a year. Shukla will have no objection in becoming the secretary. Ashish Shelar: Ashish Shelar is a veteran BJP leader in Maharashtra and is the treasurer of BCCI and a big name in MCA administration. Shelar is however a skilled politician and the post of BCCI secretary is a time-consuming job, however, being an influential name, he can be included in the race. Arun Dhumal: IPL chairman Arun Dhumal has the experience required to become BCCI secretary. He has been treasurer and now heads the cash-rich league. Swapping positions between Dhumal and Shukla would be the easiest way out, but often the BCCI puts forward names that no one can imagine. Young faces like Rohan Jaitley, Avishek Dalmiya, Dilsher Khanna, Vipul Phadke and Prabhtej Bhatia could also be considered. However, a former BCCI secretary said the BCCI power structure generally favours those who have been in the system, making it impossible for a new face to get the top job.

Fortunately Rahul Dravid was part of the XI so everyone thought that I have kept a part-time wicketkeeper. But I really did not think of Rahul Dravid as a wicketkeeper.” He said that Dhoni is definitely part of the XI and the captaincy will also remain with him. Karthik said, “Can you believe it? Being a wicketkeeper, I forgot to add wicketkeeper. This is a big mistake. Such a big mistake should not have happened. This is very clear to me.

I really believe so.” He further said, “If I make the team again, I will definitely make one change. Thala Dhoni will be at number 7 and he will be the captain of any Indian team. There is no doubt about it.”

‘Can’t keep him wrapped in cotton wool…’- Former bowling coach gives important advice to BCCI regarding Mayank Yadav
Mayank Yadav (Photo Source: IPL/BCCI) Paras Mhambrey on Mayank Yadav: Mayank Yadav created a sensation with his fast bowling in IPL 2024. Lucknow Super Giants fast bowler Mayank played only four matches in IPL 2024. In these four matches, Mayank bowled the fourth fastest ball in IPL history this year. He bowled consistently at a speed of 150 kilometers per hour and took 7 wickets at an economy rate of 6.99. After seeing his pace bowling, cricket experts had talked about including Mayank in Team India. But, Mayank has been away from cricket since the injury in IPL 2024 and is constantly working hard to make a comeback. Now former bowling coach of the Indian cricket team Paras Mhambrey has said a big thing about him. Paras Mahambre gave a big statement about Mayank Yadav Former India bowling coach Paras Mhambrey believes that the time has come for the BCCI to introduce Mayank in competitive cricket, especially first-class cricket. Paras Mhambrey said, “I don’t agree that if he is not ready, don’t feed him. This is the age when he should bowl. The more you bowl, the more control you will have, you will know how much your body can bowl. You can’t stop him saying he will get injured. We can’t make him bowl too much and tire him out, but we have to be smart about how much he should bowl. As a fast bowler, he needs to play first-class cricket.” Mhambrey further said, “When you play a season, you understand your bowling. You bowl in different conditions. Physically, you will be tested at different stages of the game. Sometimes, you have to be on the field for six sessions. And being able to bowl with the same intensity in the last session will give you confidence when you play internationally. I strongly feel that Mayank needs to work hard in the domestic season.
