The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to see its chairman, Mohsin Naqvi will become the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) for a two-year term starting in January 2025.
Sources reveal that this decision came during an ACC meeting held in Bali in January 2024. Naqvi’s appointment will see him replace Jay Shah, whose term will end in January 2025 after a one-year extension.
Naqvi’s leadership will coincide with important events for Asian cricket. India will host the Men’s Asia Cup in 2025, which will be played in the T20 format.
Meanwhile, Bangladesh is set to host the 2027 edition of the tournament in the ODI format. Both tournaments will feature six teams: Pakistan, India, Afghanistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka, and a sixth team to be determined through a qualifying event.
While the official schedule for the 2025 Men’s Asia Cup has yet to be finalized, it is expected that the six-team tournament will take place in September, following the end of the monsoon season.
Naqvi’s upcoming presidency marks a notable shift in the ACC leadership, promising a new chapter for cricket in the region.
