The International Cricket Council (ICC) on Monday announced the appointment of Sanjog Gupta as its new Chief Executive Officer (CEO). Gupta will officially assume charge on July 7, 2025, becoming the seventh person to hold the post.
Cricket Age had exclusively published the news about his appointment on June 16 itself.
A veteran of India’s sports and media ecosystem, Gupta currently serves as CEO of Sports & Live Experiences at JioStar. With over two decades of experience across content, strategy, and operations, he has been widely credited with shaping the modern sports broadcast landscape in India.
“Candidates ranged from leaders associated with sport’s governing bodies to senior corporate executives from across sectors,” the ICC said.
The names were forwarded to the Nominations Committee comprising ICC deputy chairman Imran Khwaja, ECB chairman Richard Thompson, SLC president Shammi Silva and BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia.
They recommended Gupta for the role which was approved by ICC chairman Jay Shah.
“Sanjog Gupta has been a driving force behind the transformation of sports broadcasting in India and globally,” the ICC said.
The governing body also noted Gupta’s role in establishing and expanding other leagues such as the Pro Kabaddi League and the Indian Super League (football) while promoting global events like Premier League and Wimbledon.
“Sanjog has played a pivotal role in shaping the continued growth of marquee Cricket properties such as ICC events & IPL, establishing domestic sports leagues like PKL and ISL, furthering the popularity of global sporting events such as Premier League and Wimbledon and scaling the business across consumer and commercial objectives,” it said.
