  "summary": "Emirates Cricket Board president Khalid Al Zarooni has been unanimously elected as Vice-President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) during the organization's annual general meeting. The meeting, held on Saturday, addressed governance matters such as elections to the ACC Executive Board, the presidency rotation policy, and the formation of various ACC committees. In a significant move, the ACC also approved the inclusion of the Afghanistan Cricket Board among the full member boards eligible to assume the council's presidency, replacing the traditional rotation between India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Bangladesh. The UAE's growing role in Asian cricket administration is highlighted by Al Zarooni's appointment, as he has overseen the development of the UAE's cricket programs and the launch of the International League T20, where he serves as chairman.",
