Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) vice-president Rajeev Shukla will represent India as an Executive Board Member on the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Board. Shukla will take over a vacant spot that emerged after Jay Shah stepped down as president of the governing body of continental cricket, the Indian cricket board announced on Friday, March 7.
Meanwhile, former BCCI treasurer Ashish Shelar has been appointed as the BCCI representative on the ACC Board as an Ex-Officio Board Member.
Jay Shah vacated the ACC presidency in December 2024 after serving three consecutive terms. The Indian cricket administrator, who was also the BCCI secretary, was elected unopposed as the International Cricket Council (ICC) chairman. Shah officially assumed the ICC chairman role on December 1, 2024.
“With Mr Jay Shah taking over as the Chair of the International Cricket Council (ICC), his position on the ACC Board became vacant. Until recently, he was the President of the ACC. Mr Rajeev Shukla will now represent the BCCI as an Executive Board Member on the ACC Board,” the BCCI said in a statement.
BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia extended his best wishes to Rajeev Shukla and Ashish Shelar for their new roles as representatives of the Asian Cricket Council.
