The meeting was attended by Brisbane 2032 organising committee chief Cindy Hook and Cricket Australia CEO Nick Hockley.
Cricket is likely to make its comeback to the Olympics in the 2028 Games in Los Angeles after a long wait of 128 years.
The former BCCI secretary is expected to watch the action of the third Test between India and Australia, starting at the Gabba from Saturday.
Among Shah's immediate priorities is to find a solution to the hosting of ICC Champions Trophy in February-March. A hybrid model has been agreed by all stakeholders but no announcement has been made yet, fuelling speculations over the future of the event.
