Rajeev Shukla Replaces Jay Shah in ACC Leadership
In December 2024, Jay Shah vacated the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) presidency after serving three consecutive terms. The BCCI secretary was elected unopposed as the International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman, officially assuming the role on December 1, 2024. His exit led to key leadership changes within the ACC, with Sri Lanka Cricket Board chief Shammi Silva taking over as ACC president and Rajeev Shukla representing the BCCI on the ACC Board.
The BCCI confirmed that Rajeev Shukla and Ashish Shelar will take on new roles in the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). The transition comes at a crucial time, with major cricket events like the 2025 Asia Cup (to be played in the UAE) and the ICC Champions Trophy shaping international cricket.
