BCCI President Sourav Ganguly and star India batter Virat Kohli extended birthday greetings to Board secretary Jay Shah, who turned 34 on Thursday.

Several former and current cricketers took to social media for wishing Shah, who is serving as Board's secretary since 2019.

With your passion & dynamism, may you continue to promote sports for many more years to come," former spinner Harbhajan Singh wrote.

Warm birthday greetings to @JayShah ji, the Honorary Secretary of BCCI and the President of ACC. Your zeal and passion for promoting sports across the globe is extraordinary.
