Pakistan Board Chief Will Replace New ICC Chairman Jay Shah At ACC: Report

Jay Shah would have to resign as the ACC chairman, having taken up the ICC job.



Jay Shah, the secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), created history when he was elected as the new chairman of the International Cricket Council. The identity of Shah's replacement as the head of the Asian Cricket Council is becoming more and more of a topic of conversation within the Indian board. Shah will need to step down from both his position as chairman of the ACC and his position as secretary of the BCCI when he accepts the ICC position. 

Mohsin Naqvi, the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board, is reportedly in the lead to become the next ACC president. Naqvi is expected to succeed Shah as the new ACC chief, according to a report in the news agency PTI. The official announcement of the appointment is expected to occur later this year.


"When the ACC meets later this year, it will confirm that Naqvi will be the next president for a two-year term," a source told PTI. "When Jay Shah steps down, the PCB chief will take over."

Jay Shah at ICC Shah said, "I am humbled by the nomination as the Chair of the International Cricket Council," following his unanimous election to the position of ICC president. 

"In order to further globalize cricket, I'm determined to collaborate closely with the ICC team and our member countries. At this pivotal moment, it is more crucial than ever to encourage the adoption of cutting-edge technology, strike a balance between the coexistence of many forms, and expand the reach of our major events into new international markets. Our objective is to increase cricket's appeal and inclusivity to an unprecedented degree."


"To increase the passion for cricket around the world, we must welcome innovation and new ideas while also building on the important lessons we have learnt. The fact that cricket will be competing in the Olympics in Los Angeles in 2028 marks a pivotal moment in the history of the sport, and I have no doubt that it will advance in ways never seen before."

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard  Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
