Rohan Jaitley To Become New Secretary Of BCCI | Reports: Rohan Jaitley, who is currently the president of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), has emerged as the top candidate to assume the position of Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) by replacing Jay Shah. This comes in the wake of speculation that Shah intends to seek election as the new chairman of ICC, for which he has already garnered considerable support from ICC’s board members.
Jay Shah’s ICC Ambitions
Jay Shah is believed to be preparing to move over to the ICC. In the event he manages to land the role at the ICC, Shah will relinquish his responsibilities with the BCCI, creating an opening that provides an advantage to Jaitley. He is going to be appointed as Chairman of the ICC, in which he is likely to be one of the youngest of such appointments. Owing to his term in BCCI, he is likely to change the face of the affairs of cricket.
Jaitley’s Strong Candidacy
In addition to this, his experience in sports administration and in running the DDCA and Delhi Premier League has also received the endorsement of the officials at BCCI. The legacy of Jaitley is composed of a closer attachment to the BCCI as he is the son of former politician, Arun Jaitley Jr., who was also a beloved member of the cricket governance.

Ensuring Stability in BCCI Leadership
As part of the expected realignment, BCCI President Roger Binny and other office bearers clung to their positions, thereby guaranteeing the status quo. This is critical because the BCCI is concentrating on domestic cricket and seeking international relations.
Therefore, in the event that Chief Shah moves to ICC, Jaitley is the one to add continuity and purposeful leadership in the operations of the BCCI Mission in India and abroad.
