On Tuesday, Greg Barclay revealed he will step down from his role as ICC chairman on November 30, marking the end of his third term. This announcement has triggered speculation that Jay Shah, the BCCI Secretary, may be a leading candidate to take over the position.
Greg Barclay decides to step down
Shah’s plans regarding a bid for the chairmanship will be announced by August 27, the cutoff date for nominations. While ICC chairmen are permitted to serve three consecutive two-year terms, Barclay has served an additional year beyond this limit.
“ICC Chair Greg Barclay confirmed to the Board that he will not stand for a third term and will step down from the post when his current tenure finishes at the end of November. Barclay was appointed as the Independent ICC Chair in November 2020, before being re-elected in 2022,” the ICC stated in a media release. “Current directors are now required to put forward nominations for the next Chair by 27 August 2024 and if there is more than one candidate, an election will be held with the term of the new Chair commencing on 1 December 2024.”
