Jay Shah Joins New MCC Advisory Board, Reshaping Lord’s Global Role
In a significant development for the cricketing world, Jay Shah, the ICC chair and former BCCI secretary, has recently joined a new advisory board at the prestigious Marylebone Cricket Club (MCC). This move marks a pivotal moment in reshaping the global role of Lord’s, a historic venue synonymous with the sport.
New World Cricket Connects Symposium Announced
The MCC has announced the upcoming second edition of the World Cricket Connects symposium, set to take place on June 7 and 8. This event follows the success of the inaugural forum last year, which brought together over 100 prominent voices in cricket to discuss the current state of the game.
Founding Members of the Advisory Board
Shah is one of the 13 founding members of the new World Cricket Connects advisory board, which will be chaired by former MCC president Kumar Sangakkara. Other notable members include Sourav Ganguly, Graeme Smith, Andrew Strauss, England women’s captain Heather Knight, and JioStar’s CEO (Sports) Sanjog Gupta.
Shaping the Future of Global Cricket
The establishment of this advisory board signifies a significant shift from the previous world cricket committee, which had been in place since 2006. The new board aims to bring together some of the best minds in cricket to discuss and address key issues affecting the sport on a global scale.
Through virtual meetings and in-person discussions following the symposium at Lord’s, the advisory board will play a crucial role in shaping the agenda for the annual World Cricket Connects event. Their collective expertise and insights are expected to have a genuine impact on the future health and direction of the game.
As cricket enthusiasts eagerly anticipate the outcomes of these discussions, the collaboration between these influential figures promises to pave the way for positive changes within the sport. The world of cricket is poised for a new era of innovation and progress, driven by the collective efforts of some of the most esteemed individuals in the field.
