The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has made some important appointments in the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). Rajeev Shukla, who is the vice-president of the BCCI and a member of the Indian Parliament, will now represent India on the ACC’s Board of Directors. Additionally, Ashish Shelar, the former treasurer of the BCCI and a senior member of the Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP), will serve as an Executive Board Member.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia announced this news on Friday and expressed his confidence in Shukla and Shelar’s abilities. These appointments come after Jay Shah, the current BCCI Secretary, took on the role of Chair of the International Cricket Council (ICC). Because of this new job, Shah had to step down from his position on the ACC Board.
Saikia extended the board’s best wishes to both Shukla and Shelar, stating, “We wish both of them a successful tenure as the ACC works towards promoting and developing cricket in Asia.”
This is an important time for the ACC as they are preparing for a leadership change. Pakistan’s Mohsin Naqvi will soon be the head of the ACC, marking a new era for cricket in Asia. Shukla and Shelar’s roles are expected to help strengthen India’s influence in the ACC.
Through these new roles, the BCCI aims to continue shaping the future of cricket in Asia, reinforcing its leadership in the sport around the world
