Delhi-based lawyer Rohan Jaitley, the son of the late politician Arun Jaitley, is poised to become the next Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) if current Secretary Jay Shah transitions to the role of International Cricket Council (ICC) Chairman. Rohan Jaitley, currently the President of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), could soon step into a pivotal role within Indian cricket’s governing body.
Rohan has been actively involved in cricket administration, taking after his father, Arun Jaitley, who was not only a significant political figure but also an influential cricket administrator. This familial legacy, combined with his legal expertise and leadership at DDCA, makes Rohan a favored candidate to succeed Jay Shah.
Reports suggest growing support within the BCCI for Rohan to assume the Secretary position, emphasizing the organization’s tendency towards maintaining continuity in its leadership structure. The role of BCCI Secretary is critical, involving extensive coordination and decision-making that impacts Indian cricket at all levels.
Jay Shah’s potential move to become ICC Chairman is supported by a majority of ICC members, making his candidacy strong. Should Shah secure the ICC chairmanship, Rohan Jaitley’s elevation to BCCI Secretary would mark a significant shift in the administrative dynamics of Indian cricket.
