Chairman of the International Cricket Council

Have you ever seen a cricket match on TV? The Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) is like the captain of the whole cricket team, but for the entire world! They help make sure cricket is played fairly and is fun for everyone, everywhere. It's a super important job that started in 2014 to make cricket even better.

Before 2014, the ICC had a President who did a lot of things. But then, they decided to make a new, even bigger job called the Chairman. This person became the head of all the important meetings. The first person to ever be the Chairman was N. Srinivasan, who started in 2014. It’s like getting a new, special role in a game!

The ICC Chairman is in charge of big decisions that affect cricket players and fans all over the planet. They help make the rules and decide how cricket grows. It's like being the principal of a giant, worldwide school for cricket! They make sure everyone follows the rules and that the game stays exciting for millions of people.

Lots of people have been the ICC Chairman. Shashank Manohar was the Chairman for a long time, over four years! Then, Greg Barclay took over. And guess what? Jay Shah is the newest person to become the Chairman, starting in December 2024! It’s like a relay race, with different people leading the way.
