Jay Shah, Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC), is set to be felicitated by the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on the sidelines of its Special General Meeting (SGM), scheduled to be held in its headquarters on Sunday.
The 36-year old succeeds Greg Barclay to become the youngest member of the apex board.
Her post, although framed as a congratulatory message, appeared to be laced with a sharp undertone as she commented on Jay Shah's rise to the position of ICC chairman.
“I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council," Shah said in a statement.
It is worth highlighting that Manohar could have stayed for another term as a maximum of three terms are allowed but chose to end his stint after the end of the second term.
Kaneria was banned for spot-fixing in 2012 while representing Essex. The leg-spinner had initially denied the charge but in 2018, he finally confessed.
Shashank Manohar had resigned from the position on March 15 citing “personal reasons”.
