    Teesri ministry? Mohsin Naqvi to become new president of Asian Cricket Council

    Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, is set to take over the presidency of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC).

    Naqvi’s two-year tenure will begin in January 2025, a pivotal moment for Pakistan’s influence in regional cricket administration.

    The ACC President is appointed based on a rotation policy among member states. The current board president, Jay Shah, was given a one-year extension in January 2024.

    Apart from the role of PCB Chairman, he also serves as the Interior Minister of Pakistan. He will manage three key portfolios with his upcoming chairmanship at the ACC.

    A formal announcement confirming Naqvi’s presidency is expected at the next ACC meeting in October-November.

    Jay Shah, the Secretary of the Board of Cricket in India (BCCI), has once again been elected as the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), marking the third time he has held on the seat.

    A meeting of the Council was held in Bali, Indonesia, in which Pakistan was represented by Acting Chairman Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Shah Khawar and COO Salman Naseer.

    According to Geo News reports, Indian Cricket Board Secretary Jay Shah has been elected as the president for the third year in a row.

    During the last Asia Cup, jointly hosted by Pakistan and Sri Lanka, continuous rains in the island nation affected many matches, due to which Jay Shah was severely criticized.
