The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) is gearing up for a leadership change, with Mohsin Naqvi, the current Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), set to take over the presidency. Naqvi is poised to replace Jay Shah, the BCCI secretary, who is likely to be elected as the ICC Chairman.
A New Era for Pakistan in ACC
According to media reports, Naqvi’s term as ACC president will commence in January 2025 and will last for two years. This marks a significant milestone for Pakistan, enhancing its influence in regional cricket administration.
The presidency of the ACC rotates among member countries. Currently, Jay Shah holds the position and was granted a one-year extension this January, ensuring a seamless transition for Naqvi in 2025.
Triple Role for Mohsin Naqvi
Naqvi’s upcoming role as ACC president adds to his already impressive portfolio. In addition to leading the PCB, he also serves as Pakistan’s Interior Minister. Managing three significant roles showcases his extensive experience and leadership abilities.
While there has been no official announcement yet, the ACC is expected to confirm Naqvi’s presidency at their next meeting in October-November.
However, not everyone is pleased with Naqvi’s expanding responsibilities, with former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi criticizing Naqvi, urging him to focus on a single role.
“Mohsin Naqvi is Interior Minister as well as Chairman PCB. This is the right time for him to choose one job!” Afridi stated.
As Naqvi prepares to take on his new responsibilities, the cricket community will be watching closely. His leadership in the ACC will be crucial in shaping the future of cricket in the region. Balancing his roles will undoubtedly be a challenging task, but it also offers an opportunity for significant impact.
