DUBAI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) chief Rajeev Shukla has asked Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Mohsin Naqvi to hand over the Asia Cup trophy, sources told Ary News on Wednesday.
The development came during the ACC meeting held in Dubai, chaired by ACC President and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
As per the sources, the Asia Cup trophy was not on the agenda of the recent ACC meeting, but Shukla insisted on receiving it.
In reply, Mohsin Naqvi reportedly said that if the Indian cricket team wanted the trophy, Suryakumar Yadav should personally visit his office to collect it.
For context, the Asia Cup 2025 final ended with a Trophy fiasco as the Indian cricket team refused to accept the silverware from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as the Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The presentation ceremony started an hour late, reportedly due to India’s refusal, stemming from the fact that the trophy was to be handed over by the Asia Cricket Council (ACC) president and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi.
The stage for the post-match ceremony was not set for an extended period. At last, the stage was set up with Mohsin Naqvi and other dignitaries taking their place.
However, the ceremony ended without the silverware, as the Indian team celebrated the moment by mimicking the trophy.
