Naqvi succeeds Shammi Silva , president of Sri Lanka Cricket (SLC), who reflected on his tenure with pride. "It has been a privilege to serve as President of the Asian Cricket Council. The steadfast commitment of our member boards working together has been pivotal in elevating ACC’s stature across the region. I extend my gratitude to my predecessor, Jay Shah , Chairman of the ICC, under whose leadership the ACC reached significant milestones — including securing the highest-ever value for the ACC Asia Cup commercial rights, introducing a new pathway events structure, and paving the way for the continued development of cricket in Asia. As I step down, I have full confidence that under Naqvi’s capable leadership, the ACC will continue its remarkable journey and thrive."



Under Naqvi's leadership, the ACC looks forward to a dynamic and collaborative future, with an enhanced commitment to development programs, youth engagement, and elevating the global prominence of Asian cricket.
