Not salary, but compensation

Jay Shah, currently serving as the Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), is set to take over as the Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) in December. With this upcoming role, many are curious about the compensation Shah will receive as the youngest-ever ICC chairman.

Interestingly, Shah's remuneration at the BCCI provides some clues about what he might earn at the ICC. As BCCI Secretary, his position is 'honorary,' meaning he does not receive a traditional salary. Instead, Shah, along with other top officials like the president, vice-president, and treasurer, is compensated through allowances.

At the BCCI, Shah earns approximately ₹84,000 per day when attending international cricket meetings and tours. For domestic meetings within India, he receives ₹40,000 per day and travels in business class, as reported by My Khel.

As for the ICC, the payment structure for the chairman might not differ significantly. The ICC typically compensates officials for attending meetings and fulfilling other duties to ensure they can perform their roles without financial concerns. However, specific details regarding ICC payments have not been disclosed publicly.

It's important to note that these figures have not been independently verified by ABP Live. However, what remains clear is that Shah does not receive a standard salary for his role at the BCCI.
