International Cricket Council chair Jay Shah has joined the Marylebone Cricket Club’s new global advisory board, which will replace its world cricket committee.
The board was spawned out of the World Cricket Connects forum hosted by the MCC at Lord’s in 2024 when 120 of the leading voices in the sport gathered to discuss the game.
The MCC said it wants the board, which will meet virtually, to be a “leading symposium” in the sport “to ensure cricket’s future success”.
Indian Shah, 36, became the youngest ever chairman of the ICC when he succeeded New Zealander Greg Barclay in December 2024.
He is the former secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India and one of the most powerful figures in the world game.
The advisory board will be chaired by former Sri Lanka captain Kumar Sangakkara, who served as MCC president from October 2019 to September 2021 and was the first non-British person to hold the role.
Former international captains Sir Andrew Strauss and Graeme Smith as well as current England women’s captain Heather Knight have also accepted offers to join the advisory board.
MCC president Mark Nicholas said: “We have assembled an impressive group of the best minds in cricket across several different areas relevant to our sport.
“I am delighted to be working with this experienced group and excited about what we can collectively achieve for the benefit of the global game.”
Based at Lord’s, which it owns, the MCC acts as custodian and arbiter of the laws and spirit of cricket.
