According to the rules of the Asian Cricket Council, the presidency is rotated among Asian countries. Naqvi's tenure is coming to an end soon and the new president will be elected in the upcoming meeting of the Asian Cricket Council. The Board of Control for Cricket in India and other member countries of the ACC have strongly opposed Naqvi's performance. Therefore, the possibility of them getting an extension in any case is completely gone. As per the rotation policy, it is now highly likely that the next ACC presidency will be handed over to a representative of Sri Lanka or Bangladesh.
