Jay Shah's Big Lord's Moment

Standing at the home of cricket, ICC chairman Jay Shah added his name to Lord’s legendary tradition by ringing the bell before the World Test Championship (WTC) final between South Africa and Australia on Wednesday.

Sharing the experience on X, Shah posted, ‘A privilege to ring the bell at the historic Lord's ground before the start of play on Day One of the @ICC World Test Championship final between @ProteasMenCSA and @CricketAus.’

The ceremonial bell-ringing at Lord’s is a tradition that marks the beginning of a day’s play, and Shah’s participation added to the prestige of the occasion.
