Such a position at a young age..!?

The election for the next president of the international cricket Council (ICC) will be held in November. New Zealander Greg Barclay has been the ICC President for the last 4 years. In this context, it is reported that bcci Secretary Jay Shah will contest the election for the ICC President to be held in November. This means that if Jay Shah wants to contest for the post of ICC president, there is a high chance that he will be selected. Also, if he takes over as the ICC president, he will hold the post for the next three years. There is a high possibility that he will also become the bcci president in the coming year 2018.
According to ICC rules, there are 16 votes in the election of the president and now nine votes (51%) are needed to win. Earlier, to be sworn in as president, a two-thirds majority was required, and there was a situation where Jay Shah would get 16 votes. If Jay Shah is elected as the ICC president, he will have the honor of being elected as the youngest ICC president.
If Jay Shah, who has been the bcci secretary for the past 5 years, contests in the ICC elections, there will be a situation where he will resign from the post of bcci secretary. It is noteworthy that recently the legend of the indian team, sunil Gavaskar, had greatly appreciated the steps taken by bcci for the development of cricket in india during Jay Shah's tenure.
