Rohan Jaitley, son of the late Arun Jaitley, is emerging as a prominent candidate to succeed Jay Shah as the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). This transition could occur if Shah is elected as the Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).
Currently serving as the President of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), Rohan Jaitley is also a practicing lawyer. His leadership in cricket administration and family legacy in the sport make him a strong contender for the prestigious BCCI role.
Who is Rohan Jaitley?
Rohan Jaitley is an experienced cricket administrator and lawyer based in Delhi. As the President of DDCA, he has been instrumental in managing cricket operations in the capital. His father, Arun Jaitley, was not only a distinguished politician but also a key figure in cricket administration, leaving behind a legacy that Rohan is continuing.
Why is Rohan Jaitley Favored for the Role of BCCI Secretary?
Reports suggest that Rohan Jaitley enjoys growing support within the BCCI to step into the Secretary’s role if Jay Shah transitions to the ICC. The BCCI’s tradition of appointing insiders for key roles positions Rohan as a natural choice to ensure continuity in leadership.
What Happens if Jay Shah Becomes ICC Chairman?
Jay Shah has the backing of a majority of ICC members, making him a strong contender for the ICC Chairman role. Should Shah be elected, Rohan Jaitley is expected to succeed him as BCCI Secretary, a move that would place him at the forefront of Indian cricket administration.
The cricketing world now watches closely to see if Jay Shah’s move to the ICC paves the way for Rohan Jaitley to ascend to one of the most powerful positions in Indian cricket.
