Dalmiya set to head Asian Cricket Council

After holding posts as the president of the ICC and the Indian board, Jagmohan Dalmiya is all set to head the Asian Cricket Council. According to a report in The Indian Express, Dalmiya will take over from Mohammad Ali Asghar, currently president of the ACC and the Bangladesh board, when his term ends on June 29.

The post of ACC president works on a rotation basis, and it is now India's turn to take the chair. The election, which is expected to be a formality, will take place in London, where the heads of boards will be present for an ICC executive board meeting.

Dalmiya's term as president of the BCCI ends only in September, which means that there will be a period of three months when he will head both, the ACC and the BCCI. Dalmiya had earlier been the secretary of the ACC between 1993 and 1996.
