Overview
- Delegates at the ACC Annual General Meeting in Bangkok on August 22–23 elected three director seats that went to candidates backed by Pakistan, giving that panel full control of the contested positions.
- Khalid Al Zarooni of the UAE was unanimously chosen ACC vice‑president and Executive Board seats were filled by Qatar, Singapore, Maldives and Bahrain representatives for the 2026–2028 term.
- The AGM formally added the Afghanistan Cricket Board to the pool of Full Member boards eligible to hold the ACC presidency, expanding the rotation beyond the four earlier Test nations.
- Members approved new committees for governance, development, competitions and finance and reviewed plans and proposed venues for the next Asia Cup in Bangladesh and the Women’s Asia Cup in Dubai.
- The result is likely to change who steers tournament planning and budget decisions for Asian cricket and gives Pakistan‑aligned officials greater sway over development funding and scheduling choices.
