The president of the ICC, Jay Shah, recently met the president of FIFA, Gianni Infantino, during the 144th IOC session in Costa Navarino in Greece. Infantino, who heads the world’s world director of football, posted on Reunion on Instagram. “I had the pleasure of meeting the ICC chair and a fantastic administrator Jay Shah! After visiting India, including during the 2023 ICC World Cup, I am aware of the incredible passion that people have for cricket and the exceptional work that Jay Shah did to develop the game more,” wrote Infantino.
“I wish you the best of your mission and I can’t wait to work together and collaborate to make cricket even more global.” In January, Shah, the former secretary of the BCCI, met the outgoing president of the CIO Thomas Bach in Lausanne, Switzerland, to discuss key initiatives for the inclusion of cricket at the 2028 Olympic Games and beyond, focusing on collaboration and promotion of Olympic values.
Kirsty Coventry will succeed Bach, whose 12 -year mandate will officially end on June 23.
