The aftermath of India’s Asia Cup 2025 win has been marred by a dispute involving Mohsin Naqvi and the trophy presentation. After India’s victory against Pakistan, the refusal of Indian representatives to accept the trophy from Naqvi, the Pakistan Cricket Board chief and Asia Cricket Council Chairman, led to an incident where Naqvi allegedly took the trophy. An ACC meeting addressed the situation, where Naqvi offered an apology to the BCCI. However, he persisted in his refusal to return the trophy, instead requesting that Suryakumar Yadav collect it in Dubai. The BCCI has responded with disbelief, stating that if Naqvi couldn’t present the trophy originally, it’s unlikely Yadav will now travel to Dubai. Naqvi is set to leave for Lahore and has reiterated his demand for Yadav’s presence. The BCCI has firmly requested the trophy’s return, but Naqvi has yet to comply, prompting the BCCI to consider an official complaint with the ICC. Furthermore, Naqvi was pressured to congratulate India during the meeting.
