The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is set to see a new leader at its helm, with Mohsin Naqvi, the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), poised to assume the presidency.

According to a media report, Naqvi's term will begin in January 2025 and span two years, marking a significant moment for Pakistan's influence in regional cricket administration.

The president of the ACC is appointed based on a rotation policy among member countries. Currently, the president of the ACC is Jay Shah, the secretary of the Indian board, who was granted a one-year extension to his term this January.

This extension ensures continuity in leadership and allows for a smooth transition when Naqvi takes over in 2025.

In addition to his role as PCB Chairman, Naqvi also serves as Pakistan's Interior Minister. With his upcoming presidency at the ACC, he will be managing three significant portfolios, reflecting his extensive experience and leadership capabilities.

The official announcement confirming Naqvi's presidency is anticipated to be made in the next ACC meeting, scheduled for October-November.
