NEW DELHI: Your son has indeed become very very powerful and I congratulate you on his this most elevated achievement indeed, said Mamata Banrjee extending her sarcastically charged greetings to home minister Amit Shah as his son Jay Shah was elected as the ICC chairman on Tuesday.
“Your son has not become a politician, but has become the ICC Chairman – a post much much more important than most politicians’!!,” the Bengal chief minister said in a post on X that came two days after Jay’s appointment as the youngest ICC chairman.

Joining in the wagon, TMC MP Mahua Moitra said, “He is a shining example of how hard work & merit can make anything possible.”
Shah is the 5th Indian – after Jagmohan Dalmiya, Sharad Pawar, N Srinivasan and Shashank Manohar – to be elected to this high-profile position.
He will begin his tenure at the ICC headquarters in Dubai on December 1. ICC chairmen are allowed up to three terms of two years each, and Barclay, a New Zealand-based lawyer, has already served four years.
