AB de Villiers condemned India's refusal to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Pakistan's ACC chief, highlighting the impact of politics overshadowing sport during the tournament.
- Earlier this year, Team India refused to accept the Asia Cup 2025 trophy from ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi after defeating Pakistan by five wickets in Dubai, and AB de Villiers criticised the decision.
- Amid rising political tensions, Team India declined the Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, ACC chief, after three on-field meetings showed no handshakes and hostility during medal protocols.
- On the field, Mohsin Naqvi removed the winners' trophy and medals and took them to his hotel in Dubai, while India had still not received the trophy three days after the final.
- The incident overshadowed Team India's unbeaten tournament run and stirred controversy across social media despite securing the Asia Cup 2025 title.
- BCCI officials have said they will escalate the Asia Cup dispute to the International Cricket Council, while Kapil Dev urged players to `move on` ahead of the T20 World Cup.
