Pakistan Set to Take the Helm of Asian Cricket Council

The Asian Cricket Council is all set for a major upheaval. Not long before Pakistan assumes charge of the important cricket body. This indeed is good news for all the die-hard fans of the sport across Asia and the rest of the world.

New Boss?

Mohsin Naqvi is tipped to become the new ACC president. As he is already the chair of the PCB, he is well-versed in the inner workings of running cricket in his country. Now, he’ll get to use his acquired acumen to help cricket all across Asia.

When Will This Happen?

The change is due to come in January 2025. That is when the presidency of the ACC is going to be taken over by the next president, Mohsin Naqvi. He will preside for two full years. This gives him all the time needed to put in more effort to make Asian cricket even better.

Who’s Stepping Down?

Jay Shah is the current president of the ACC. He is also a big gun in Indian cricket, serving as the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India. Jay Shah has been on the job for some time now. They even extended him for a year more in January 2024. But now it is time to pass on the baton to a new person.

What Does This Mean for Cricket?

Well, this is huge in terms of cricket in Asia. It does indicate the imperative rotation of countries and gives other countries a chance to head: when Pakistan takes over from India, it perhaps will bring some fresh ideas and plans that may make cricket in Asia stronger and more interesting.

What’s Next for Asian Cricket?

Now that there is new leadership at its helm, some interesting times may lie ahead for the enthusiasts of the game. For all anyone knows, Pakistan might have new ideas in store for tournaments or further popularization of cricket. These are exciting times for cricket in Asia, and many will watch what comes next with interest.
