Furthermore, BCCI’s representative in the all-powerful ICC Board is likely to head the Finance and Commercial Affairs (F&CA) committee of the global cricket body. The F&CA committee is the most important of all the subsidiary committees of ICC and for some years. BCCI representatives weren’t a part of it till former BCCI president Sourav Ganguly became its member.
“If Jay is representing the BCCI in the ICC Board, then he will automatically be part of F&CA committee. But India has not been heading the F&CA for a long time and it’s BCCI’s turn to head the committee,” an ICC insider privy to the development told PTI.

Shah will be reaching Melbourne in the next couple of days for the annual ICC board meeting. The newly elected BCCI president Roger Binny and IPL chairman Arun Dhumal are also expected to reach Australia to watch
the T20 World Cup proceedings.
It will be interesting to see who represents BCCI at the ICC Chief Executives Committee (CEC) meeting. The convention is that the president sits in the ICC Board and the secretary sits in the CEC.

The F&CA committee decides on ICC’s annual budget and is also the committee that determines the revenue sharing model, sponsorship and various rights deals for a particular cycle.
As far as the chairman’s position is concerned, incumbent Greg Barclay of New Zealand looks like the frontrunner although there is a second candidate who has filed his nomination. The members are tight lipped about the second candidate but it is understood to be either Zimbabwe cricket board Chief Tevengwa Mukhulani or Singapore’s Imran Khwaja.
Ganguly to continue as Head of Cricket Committee: Despite making his intentions clear, BCCI did not nominate former India captain Sourav Ganguly to contest ICC Chairman Elections. However, Ganguly is not out of the ICC yet. He will continue as the head of the ICC Cricket Committee. Jay Shah and VVS Laxman are also part of the committee from India besides PCB chairman Ramiz Raja.
