Mohsin Naqvi, head of Pakistan Cricket Board, has been elected the new president of the Asian Cricket Council. According to media reports, the decision was taken after an online meeting between members.
This time the Asia Cup 2025 is to be held in India, which is expected to be played in September. The last time the tournament was played in the hybrid model, where Team India won the title. Naqvi has replaced Shammi Silva as the head of the Sri Lanka Cricket Board.
Good news for Pakistan
Pakistan is very good news for the Cricket Board. PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi has been appointed as the new president of the Asian Cricket Council. The first challenge in front of Naqvi will be the Asia Cup 2025, which is to be played this year. India is hosting the Asia Cup and it will be interesting to see how Naqvi organizes it.
The Team India Champions Trophy will not travel to the neighboring country to participate in 2025 due to deteriorating political relations between India and Pakistan. The Indian team played all their matches in Dubai. In such a situation, it is believed that the Asia Cup can also be organized in the hybrid model or the tournament will be held at a neutral place. The United Arab Emirates and Sri Lanka are at the forefront of the Asia Cup host race.
Asia Cup will be played in September
The Asia Cup will be held in the 2025 T20 format. This decision has been taken keeping in mind the T20 World Cup to be held in 2026. According to the report, the tournament can begin in the second or fourth week of September. This time a total of 19 matches are expected to be played in the tournament. Team India won the previous Asia Cup title. Under the captaincy of Rohit Sharma, the Indian team defeated Sri Lanka in the final. But this time Team India will land in this tournament without Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and Ravindra Jadeja. All three players have retired from the shortest format of cricket.
