"I accept this honor and I thank my esteemed colleagues at the BCCI for nominating me and considering me worthy of this prestigious position. Formed to organize, develop and promote the sport in the region, the ACC has steadily grown in stature. The ACC continues to foster healthy rivalry among some of the biggest cricket-playing nations while it also takes the sport deeper into the smaller pockets. We must remain committed to this cause and ensure there is an all-round development in the region," Shah said in the same statement.
