PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is set to become the new President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) after the Champions Trophy 2025 final in Dubai.
Currently, the ACC is headed by Shammi Silva from Sri Lanka Cricket. However, after the upcoming General Council meeting, Naqvi will officially take over the role. This leadership change comes as the council prepares for key decisions regarding the future of Asian cricket.
One major discussion point in the meeting will be the hosting venues for the Asia Cup 2025. Since India has refused to play in Pakistan, there is a proposal to hold Pakistan’s matches in Dubai or Sri Lanka instead. This arrangement follows a hybrid model, similar to previous tournaments, allowing matches to proceed smoothly despite political challenges.
The same model may also be considered for the Champions Trophy, ensuring all teams participate without disruptions. The ACC aims to create a fair playing field while handling diplomatic concerns between cricketing nations.
With Naqvi set to take charge, his leadership will play a crucial role in shaping the future of cricket in Asia. His appointment reflects Pakistan’s growing influence in regional cricket administration.
The decisions made in the General Council meeting will impact upcoming tournaments, ensuring smooth planning and execution. Fans can expect clarity on venues and match schedules soon, as cricket boards work together to promote the game across the continent.
