What is Rohan Jaitley’s background?
Rohan Jaitley has been involved in cricket administration for some time now. As the President of DDCA, he has been managing cricket affairs in Delhi. His father, Arun Jaitley, was a prominent politician and also deeply involved in cricket administration, leaving a legacy that Rohan is continuing.
Why is Rohan Jaitley likely to become BCCI secretary?
According to reports, there is growing support within the BCCI for Rohan to step into the role of Secretary if Jay Shah moves to the ICC. The BCCI’s power structure, with positions like President, Secretary, and Treasurer, often sees successors who are already part of the system. This continuity makes Rohan a strong candidate.
What will happen if Jay Shah becomes ICC chairman?
Jay Shah has the backing of a majority of ICC members. This makes him a strong contender for the ICC Chairman position.
If he files his nomination and is elected, Rohan Jaitley is expected to replace him as BCCI Secretary. This would place Rohan in one of the most powerful positions in Indian cricket.
The cricketing world now waits to see if Jay Shah will take the step towards the ICC, opening the door for Rohan Jaitley to step into the limelight.
