Mohsin Naqvi was never expected to travel to India for IPL final; but will make presence felt during ICC meeting: Report
- Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, also serving as Federal Interior Minister, has received an invitation from the BCCI and ICC to attend the IPL 2026 final and a board meeting in Ahmedabad.
- Administrative relations between the BCCI and Naqvi have remained cold since last year's Asia Cup Trophy Dispute, when the Indian team reportedly refused to collect winner's silverware from Naqvi, the Asian Cricket Council President.
- The Chief Executives' Committee meets virtually on May 21, while ICC Board meetings, originally planned for Doha, Qatar, were relocated to India due to the ongoing West Asia crisis, with in-person sessions set for May 30 and 31 in Ahmedabad.
- Naqvi has reportedly forwarded the invitation to Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif, with the Pakistani government expected to decide next week on granting official diplomatic clearance for the visit.
- The final day of the ICC Board meeting on May 31 directly coincides with the IPL 2026 Final at the Narendra Modi Stadium, creating a complex diplomatic and administrative subplot.
