Khalid Al Zarooni is elected vice-president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), according to reports from Times of India and Yahoo Sports. The announcements also say the Afghanistan Cricket Board (ACB) is added to ACC’s full member board, increasing its participation rights within the council.
Both outlets link the ACB’s full membership status to potential future changes in ACC leadership. They note that, with full membership now in place, Afghanistan can aim to hold higher positions within the ACC, including the council presidency.
The coverage further highlights the broader governance context. Times of India and Yahoo Sports both connect the developments to the UAE’s growing prominence in cricket administration and competition hosting, pointing to the UAE’s role in staging major international cricket events. Across both sources, there are no conflicting details about the election or the membership status change; the main emphasis differs only in how strongly each report frames the regional significance.
