Shah was absent when MCC held the inaugural World Cricket Connects forum last year, which witnessed over 100 leading voices at the Lord's which will discuss the state of the global game. Shah is among the 13 founding members of the new World Cricket Connects advisory board, which will be headed by former Sri Lanka skipper and MCC president Kumar Sangakkara.

The other founding members of new advisory board are former India captain Sourav Ganguly, former South Africa opener Greame Smith and former Director of England Cricket, Andrew Strauss along with England women's captain Heather Knight and JioStar's CEO , Sanjog Gupta.

"We have assembled an impressive group of the best minds in cricket across several different areas relevant to our sport. I am delighted to be working with this experienced group and excited about what we can collectively achieve for the benefit of the global game," Mark Nicholas.
