Current Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi is expected to take over as the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), replacing the newly-appointed ICC chairman Jay Shah. The PCB chief is scheduled to take over the role following a meeting of the ACC in October-November later this year.
According to PTI, Naqvi will be announced as Shah’s successor following the meetings scheduled to take place in October and November later this year. Naqvi is expected to begin his 2-year tenure as ACC President in 2025.
“When the ACC meets later this year, it will confirm that Naqvi will be the next president for a two-year term. When Jay Shah steps down, the PCB chief will take over,” the PTI source quoted.
Jay Shah served as President of the ACC for 4 years, having received an extension for a one-year term following an original 3-year spell.
Naqvi’s 2-year term will see him oversee the Asia Cup in 2025, which will be hosted in India. As PCB chief and ACC President, Naqvi will also play a role in the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy, which will be played in his native Pakistan in 2025.
