Jay Shah, who currently serves as the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is poised to take on the role of Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) this December. As he steps into this new position, many are eager to know the compensation he will receive as the youngest chairman in ICC history.
Shah's earnings at the BCCI provide some insight into what he might expect at the ICC. His role as BCCI Secretary is considered 'honorary,' which means he doesn't receive a conventional salary. Instead, like other top officials—such as the president, vice-president, and treasurer—Shah is compensated through allowances.
At the BCCI, Shah reportedly earns around ₹84,000 per day for participating in international cricket meetings and tours. For domestic meetings held in India, his daily allowance is ₹40,000, and he travels in business class, according to reports from My Khel.
Regarding the ICC, the compensation structure for the chairman is likely to be somewhat similar. The ICC generally provides remuneration for officials attending meetings and executing their responsibilities, ensuring they can focus on their duties without financial burdens. However, detailed information about ICC payments remains undisclosed.
It's worth mentioning that these figures have not been independently verified by ABP Live. Nonetheless, Shah does not receive a typical salary for his position at the BCCI.
