As India’s women cricketers scripted history with their first-ever ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup victory on Sunday, the moment not only electrified the nation but also symbolised the transformation sweeping through Indian cricket. The triumph—a milestone decades in the making—stands as a defining achievement of a broader vision championed by Jay Shah, whose reformist leadership has ushered in an era of unprecedented success and equality in the sport.
According to BCCI sources, under Shah’s stewardship—first as BCCI Secretary and now as ICC Chairman—Indian cricket has scaled new heights on and off the field. In just three years, India has claimed five ICC titles, across men’s and women’s cricket, underscoring the depth, strength, and structural evolution of the game under his guidance.
India’s five-trophy haul includes:
ICC Under-19 Women’s World Cups (2023 & 2025)
ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, ending a 17-year drought
ICC Champions Trophy 2025, India’s first in 12 years
ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup 2025 — a historic maiden triumph
The victories are not isolated successes but outcomes of deliberate reform. As per the sources, Shah’s approach has been rooted in a commitment to inclusivity, equal pay for women cricketers, and the development of a robust domestic and grassroots ecosystem. The launch of the Women’s Premier League (WPL) and the expansion of player development pathways have created a platform where women’s cricket thrives as never before.
As ICC Chairman, Shah’s influence has also extended globally—driving reforms that prioritise financial parity, transparency, and the expansion of cricket into new regions. His leadership reflects a rare combination of administrative vision and strategic clarity, ensuring India’s voice resonates across the cricketing world.
With five ICC titles in three years and a strong institutional foundation for the future, Jay Shah’s tenure marks nothing short of a golden era for Indian cricket: one built not only on victories, but on vision, values, and the promise of an inclusive future for the game.
