ICC chairman Jay Shah recently met FIFA president Gianni Infantino in the course of the 144th IOC Session at Costa Navarino in Greece. Infantino, who heads football’s world global governing body, posted concerning the meeting on Instagram. “It was my pleasure to satisfy ICC Chair and a incredible administrator Jay Shah! Having visited India, including in the course of the 2023 ICC Cricket World Cup, I’am aware of the incredible passion the people there have for cricket and the outstanding work Jay Shah has done to further grow the sport,” Infantino wrote.
“I wish you the easiest in your mission and stay up for working together and collaborating to make cricket much more global.” In January, Shah, the previous BCCI secretary, met with outgoing IOC president Thomas Bach in Lausanne, Switzerland, to debate key initiatives for cricket’s inclusion within the LA 2028 Olympics and beyond, specializing in collaboration and promoting Olympic values.
Kirsty Coventry will succeed Bach, whose 12-year tenure will officially end on June 23.
