India has refused to collect the Asia Cup Trophy from Mohsin Naqvi

[JaDed]

It’s fine keep the trophy, it doesn’t mean much, everyone saw the game.

BCCI should let it go and after 25 years when things improve as a goodwill gesture PCB can give the trophy

We need to move on from the trophy fiasco. Mohsin had the last laugh that night by denying our boys their rightful moment with the trophy.

He made us feel deprived, and for once, he shattered the aura of invisible dominance and intimidation surrounding the BCCI. It doesn’t look dignified to keep begging for a trophy we won fair and square on the field. That trophy has now lost its meaning, and all the BCCI can do is push for some token sanction against Mohsin Naqvi which, at this point would carry no real weight because the moment has already passed.

Sometimes, you have to accept a symbolic defeat. We showed attitude, but Mohsin doubled it by walking away with the trophy. It was a bold and risky move as things could easily have turned ugly had anyone from our side confronted him or lost their cool. But being on UAE soil, no one dared to cross that line and in hindsight it’s probably for the best that it didn’t escalate further.

indians are using trophy excuse to slander and belittle Pakistanis here..

yes, india won the tournament and the trophy, why they didn’t walk up to collect it. Pakistanis are no fans of Naqvi and what he did is silly, but I think any person handing a trophy out to the winning side who then wont accept it, would do the same and take it back to the office.

Dont use this excuse to show your hatred for all things Pakistan under the guise of humour or whatever..

Pakistan should have sent Misbah. He did a grand job of being India’s 12 man.

The Asia Cup 2025 controversy is far from over, as a fresh row brews between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over the trophy handover. More than a month after India’s victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup final on September 28, the Indian team has yet to receive the trophy. The situation, which began with India refusing to accept the trophy from PCB chief and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Mohsin Naqvi, has now reached the International Cricket Council (ICC) level, with the BCCI reportedly preparing to raise the issue in the upcoming ICC Board meeting in Dubai.

“Friday is when all board heads will be meeting in the ICC Board Meeting, and the Asia Cup trophy handover issue—still in limbo—will be raised there by the BCCI. As of now, nothing has emerged on the trophy handover despite a formal letter written to the ACC,” a source told IANS.

BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said, “A letter regarding the issue was sent to the ACC 10 days ago,” indicating that the matter will be raised during the ICC quarterly meetings.

Did ICC force Naqvi to hand over the trophy in yesterday’s meeting?

Good to see you tagged me because I just about to post the latest news

Here is latest news.

Had a cordial meeting with Mr Mohsin Naqvi. One ICC office bearer and one official facilitated our informal meeting. The ice has been broken and both sides will work out a solution. No committee is being formed as BCCI and PCB will sort this before any such drastic steps are taken: Saikia

Even cricbuzz mentioned every one else asked naqvi to settle it quickly and quietly.

 

[Red-Indian]

If you forfeit a game, it is awarded to opposition. Similarly if you forfeit a trophy bit should be awarded to opposition, in this case Pakistan.
PCB should arrange for a formal ceremony and present the trophy to Salman Agha.

It is only natural.

I agree. It's finders keepers and Naqvi has now won the trophy fair and square. He should be entitled to present the trophy to whoever he likes.

Maybe it can awarded to a specially constituted Field Marshall Generalissimo Asim Munir XI?

was Naqvi hnged upside down by icc board as some Indian posters suggested on thiz thread that would happen ?

Cricinfo reports no such thing. It says BCCI and PCB will talk it out amicably

AS PER REPORTS:

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi and BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia held a cordial meeting facilitated by the ICC to address the Asia Cup trophy dispute. Described as constructive and forward-looking, the session marked the beginning of formal negotiations, with both boards expressing optimism about reaching an amicable resolution soon.

The whole thing has been LOL worthy. I'll be the first one to admit that India was immature to the zenith. But Mohsin Naqvi proved to be no less.​

I think Indians are just jealous that jay shah didn't have the idea to steal the 2023 world cup trophy before the Aussies got their hand on it.

Don't believe it. It's just like two naughty kids pretending to behave themselves when adults are present but are still kicking each other under the table.

 

[harshjoshi87]

Question is who will present the trophy at rising stars tournament?

If India under 23 win, will they accept the trophy from Naqvi?

If not will Naqvi run with the trophy again?

Lot of questions, need answers from BCCI & PCB
