In a significant move towards fostering international sporting collaborations, the BCCI Secretary Shah held discussions with NFL Commissioner Roger Goodell and his team, focusing on sharing best practices, exchanging ideas, and enhancing fan engagement and experiences.

Highlighting the exchange, Jay Shah presented a customized helmet adorned with the BCCI logo and a Team India jersey to Commissioner Goodell.
