Indian cricket administrator Jay Shah on Sunday took charge as the chairman of the ICC with an immediate goal of ending the impasse surrounding the Champions Trophy and a broader vision of making cricket a commercially viable Olympic sport. The 36-year-old Shah, who headlined the BCCI as its secretary for the last five years, is the fifth Indian and the youngest ever to head the global cricket body.

He was the unanimous choice of the ICC’s Board of Directors and replaced New Zealand attorney Greg Barclay, who didn’t wish to continue for a third consecutive term. Shah will have his task cut out as the ICC looks to find an acceptable solution to implement the hybrid model for the Champions Trophy originally scheduled in Pakistan.
