Jay Shah Breaks Silence on T20 World Cup, Says No Team Is Bigger Than ICC

Jay Shah Breaks Silence on T20 World Cup, Says No Team Is Bigger Than ICC

[ Poll: AL7OzYLO ]

Jay Shah spoke for the first time about the recently finished T20 World Cup, which faced some uncertainty before it began last month. The ICC chairman said that no team is bigger than the tournament or the organization.

"This ICC World Cup was very important because there was a lot of chatter before the start of the tournament about whether certain teams would participate and how the World Cup would go ahead. As ICC chairman, I can say that no team is bigger than the organisation and no single team makes an organisation. An organisation is a combination of all teams," Shah said without taking the name of any team.

Jay Shah says no team is bigger than the ICC after T20 World Cup success

After long talks, Bangladesh pulled out of the tournament because of security concerns, while Pakistan had warned that it might skip its match against India.

"The World Cup has shattered all viewership records. For the first time in history, we recorded 7.2 million concurrent viewers. All records were broken in overall viewership. If you see, the USA gave India a hard time, the Netherlands troubled Pakistan, Zimbabwe beat Australia and Nepal gave England a scare. I congratulate all the associate teams - they have done very well against the full members," the ICC chairman noted.

Shah was speaking at an awards event in Mumbai on Saturday, where India captain Suryakumar Yadav and coach Gautam Gambhir were also present. He also advised Suryakumar and Gambhir to plan for the future.

"I have a message for Surya and Gautam Bhai - slipping from the top to the bottom takes only months, while climbing from the bottom to the top takes years. Keep working hard and keep winning awards. When I was in the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), I had planned till the 2028 Olympics. Now I am in the ICC and others are in charge at the BCCI. All of you should prepare for 2030, 2031 and even 2036," he added.
