Mohsin Naqvi Says India Is Still 'Welcome' to Receive Asia Cup From Him
ACC President Mohsin Naqvi remains ready to hand over the Asia Cup trophy to India, who must collect it from the ACC office amid ongoing political tensions and refusal at ceremony.
- On September 28, 2025, India emerged victorious over Pakistan in the Asia Cup final held in Dubai, but the Indian players chose not to receive the trophy from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi during the award ceremony.
- The refusal followed political and diplomatic tensions between India and Pakistan, including border disputes in May and India’s 'no handshake policy' during the tournament.
- Naqvi, who is also Pakistan’s Interior Minister and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman, stated on X he was ready to hand over the trophy at the ACC office in Dubai and denied apologizing to the BCCI.
- Naqvi stated that he has not committed any wrongdoing and has refused to apologize to the BCCI, while also inviting the Indian team to pick up the trophy directly from the ACC headquarters.
- The controversy delayed the trophy presentation and frustrated the BCCI, which plans to raise the issue at the ICC meeting, while individual player awards were given by other officials.
