BCCI Secretary Jay Shah's Biggest Achievement at the Position During the Pandemic The COVID-19 outbreak in March 2020 had a huge impact on the world of sports, with many tournaments being postponed or cancelled. However, BCCI Secretary Jay Shah persevered and conducted the 2020 Indian Premier League (IPL) in the UAE, creating an isolation bubble for the tournament. This not only allowed the IPL to be held, but also demonstrated the BCCI's ability to achieve great things during challenging times. Shah's tenure also saw the introduction of the Women's Premier League, pay parity for women cricketers, and a dedicated coach and sports psychologist for the women's team. He believes these decisions have had a positive impact and even influenced the ICC to announce pay parity for the Women's World Cup.
