Mohsin Naqvi, Chairman of PCB, Set to Become Next ACC President
The incumbent chairman of Pakistan Cricket Board Mohsin Naqvi is set to become the next president of the Asian Cricket Council later this year as per its rotation policy. At a recent ACC meeting, the matter of the president’s post was discussed with Naqvi in line to become the next head.
As per the statement of the source, “When the ACC meets later this year, it will confirm that Naqvi will be the next president for a two-year term.” The secretary of BCCI, Jay Shah, is the incumbent ACC president, having gotten a one-year extension in January this year for a third consecutive term.
“When Shah steps down, the PCB chief will take over,” the source added.
Recently, the ACC has awarded the hosting rights of the Asia Cup 2025 to India, as the tournament will be held in T20 format, and the 2027 edition in ODI format to Bangladesh.
This implies that two major events are scheduled in 2025—the Champions Trophy in Pakistan in February-March followed by the Asia Cup—which will serve as a precursor to the T20 World Cup 2026.
