“We may have lost the final of the 2023 ODI World Cup. But we won hearts there by winning 10 matches in a row. I would like to say that I am confident that India will lift the 2024 T20 World Cup under Rohit Sharma’s captaincy at Barbados,” said Shah.

Shah made this speech in the presence of former skippers of India Sunil Gavaskar and Anil Kumble. The ceremony was also attended by chief selector Ajit Agarkar, head coach Rahul Dravid, Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja, Axar Patel, Mohammed Siraj, and IPL chairman Arun Dhumal.
Jay Sha reportedly also confirmed that Hardik Pandya will be the vice-captain in the T20I World Cup. Underlying Virat Kohli’s absence in the Test series against England, the BCCI secretary said, “Virat isn’t the kind of player who will skip a series without any major urgency. Give him the right.”
Jay Shah also spoke on the importance of the Ranji Trophy saying, “Everyone has to play the Ranji trophy ahead of getting selected in India team or IPL franchise. Ranji will be made mandatory for each player.”
