Who is Rohan Jaitley, Jay Shah's likely replacement to become BCCI secretary?
Rohan Jaitley, the current president of the Delhi and District Cricket Association (DDCA), is emerging as a strong candidate to become the next BCCI secretary if Jay Shah, the current BCCI secretary, decides to pursue the role of ICC Chairman. Jay Shah is reportedly well-positioned to secure the ICC role, having garnered the support of nearly all ICC board members, but he has yet to confirm his candidacy with the deadline fast approaching.
Rohan Jaitley, the son of the late Arun Jaitley, a prominent politician and former Finance Minister of India, has been involved in cricket administration for the past few years. His background as a lawyer and his leadership of the DDCA, where he was recently re-elected unopposed, have bolstered his credentials within cricket circles. Under his administration, the Arun Jaitley Stadium in Delhi successfully hosted several key cricket events, including World Cup matches.
Rohan’s potential appointment is partly attributed to the influence his father once wielded within the BCCI, where Arun Jaitley served as vice-president. However, there are other potential candidates for the BCCI secretary position, including former CAB president Avishek Dalmiya, and officials from various state units like Punjab’s Dilsher Khanna, Goa’s Vipul Phadke, and Chattisgarh’s Prabhtej Bhatia.
In conclusion, Rohan Jaitley, with his strong legal background, successful tenure as DDCA president, and influential lineage, emerges as a formidable candidate to replace Jay Shah as BCCI secretary. His leadership in hosting major cricket events and his growing influence within Indian cricket administration position him well for the role. While he faces competition, his blend of youth, experience, and the legacy of his late father makes him a leading contender in the eyes of many within the BCCI. The final decision, however, hinges on whether Jay Shah opts to take on the ICC Chairmanship.
