Mohsin Naqvi has been appointed as the new president of the Asian Cricket Council. Naqvi, who also serves as the president of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), replaced Shammi Silva, the head of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC). Naqvi will hold the position for two years, starting April 3, 2025.

The decision was taken on Apr 3, through an online meeting of the members of the continental body. 

Last year, in December, Silva became the new ACC president after Jay Shah assumed the role as the chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC).

In a press release, Naqvi, who is also the Interior Minister of Pakistan, said, “I am deeply honoured to assume the presidency of the Asian Cricket Council. Asia remains the heartbeat of world cricket, and I am committed to working with all member boards to accelerate the game’s growth and global influence.

“Together, we will unlock new opportunities, foster greater collaboration, and take Asian cricket to unprecedented heights. I also extend my sincere thanks to the outgoing ACC President for his leadership and contributions to the ACC during his tenure.”
