Jay Shah Salary: Jay Shah is currently serving as the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI). However, he has already been elected as the chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) and will take over the new role from December. As soon as the news of Shah becoming the youngest-ever ICC chairman was confirmed, there has been curiosity over how much salary he will earn as the ICC chairman.
Notably, the way he earns in BCCI might not be much different from how things will work at the ICC. As the BCCI Secretary, it is a 'honorary' job which means he never gets a regular 'salary'. Even the president, vice-president and treasurer are not paid a regular salary but are instead are reimbursed through allowances.
