"I am deeply honoured to assume the presidency of the Asian Cricket Council," said Naqvi in an ACC statement. "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.

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.
