Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is set to take on a new leadership role following the ICC Champions Trophy.

According to reports, Naqvi will assume the presidency of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) after the Champions Trophy final, Express News reported.

Currently, the position is held temporarily by Shami Silva, the president of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board.

However, after the upcoming General Council meeting, the presidency will officially be handed over to Naqvi.

In addition to the leadership change, the General Council meeting will also discuss the venues for the upcoming Asia Cup, which will be held in India later this year.

It is expected that Pakistan's matches will be scheduled in Dubai or Sri Lanka, pending further discussions.

There have also been reports that the 2023 Asia Cup and the ICC Champions Trophy, both of which saw India's absence due to political tensions, may continue under a hybrid model.

However, India will retain the hosting rights for these events.

The decision by the ACC to make these arrangements aims to avoid further controversy between Pakistan and India in the lead-up to the Champions Trophy.

Last year, Mohsin Naqvi, was elected unanimously and unopposed as the Pakistan Cricket Board’s Chairman for a three-year term.
