    Mithun Manhas Credits Jay Shah, Former Women Cricketers After India’s Historic World Cup Win

    ODI World Cup: BCCI president Mithun Manhas credited former secretary of the board and current ICC chairperson Jay Shah for bringing Indian women’s cricket to the forefront and said that his efforts are a major reason behind the team achieving a significant feat on the global stage.

    Harmanpreet Kaur-led India defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the final of the ODI World Cup earlier this month to be crowned world champions. The victory was historic for the team, as they clinched their first-ever ICC trophy after decades of yearning.

    Speaking exclusively to IANS, Manhas noted and lauded Jay Shah’s efforts over the years, saying, “Our women's team that won the 2025 World Cup, the preparations for this began almost two decades ago, around 2006 or 2007, when the BCCI took charge. A lot of work has been done since. A major role in this progress has been played by the then secretary, Jay Shah, whose contribution has been significant in bringing the women’s team to this level. He ensured that women cricketers received equal pay, the same as the men’s team.
