The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is set to welcome a new leader, with Mohsin Naqvi, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), poised to assume the presidency.
According to media reports, Naqvi's term will commence in January 2025 and span two years, marking a significant moment for Pakistan's influence in regional cricket administration.
The ACC presidency is appointed based on a rotation policy among member countries. Currently, Jay Shah, the secretary of the Indian board, holds the position.
Shah was granted a one-year extension to his term this January, ensuring continuity in leadership and allowing for a smooth transition when Naqvi takes over in 2025.
In addition to his role as PCB Chairman, Naqvi also serves as Pakistan's Interior Minister. With his upcoming presidency at the ACC, he will be managing three significant portfolios, reflecting his extensive experience and leadership capabilities.
The official announcement confirming Naqvi's presidency is anticipated to be made at the next ACC meeting, scheduled for October-November.
