Jay Shah has been elected without any opposition for the next chairman of the International Cricket Council. The BCCI secretary is going to replace Greg Barclay as he decided to leave after his current tenure will end in December.
Jay Shah is becoming the youngest ever to be selected as the ICC Chairman and has to now drop out from his post in the BCCI as soon as he takes charge in the governing body of International cricketing body.
BCCI does not have a fixed salary for the President, Secretary, Vice President and the Treasurer as all of them hold a ‘honorary’ rank on the board. However, all of them are paid allowances and reimbursements for all the work they do related to BCCI.
When Shah goes to a foreign country to attend ICC meeting or cricket tours, he is paid in daily allowance. The allowance given by the board is ₹84,000 ($1,000). Along with the foreign trips, Shah is also paid ₹40,000 per day for the meetings he attends in India.
He gets the luxury to travel by business class and all the domestic and international stays he makes are covered by BCCI. Jay Shah also gets paid ₹30,000 if he goes to any city in India for work apart from the meetings.
