NEW DELHI, Aug 28 (AFP): India's cricket chief Jay Shah has been elected unopposed as chairman of the sport's world body, the International Cricket Council, it said Tuesday.
Shah will take over the role from December, after current Chair Greg Barclay decided not to seek a third term.
"I am committed to working closely with the ICC team and our member nations to further globalise cricket," Shah said, adding he was "humbled" by the appointment.
From being the chief of the world's richest cricket board to leading the ICC, the 35-year-old's meteoric rise illustrates India's domination of the sport's global administration.
