The Asia Cup trophy saga isn’t far behind us — with the drama over its unveiling and presentation still fresh in memory, all eyes now turn to the final where the spotlight shifts once again to the silverware. With the trophy now set to be presented by ACC President Mohsin Naqvi in Dubai, Pakistan’s young guns have turned the page on past drama, ensuring the Asia Cup is remembered for their dominance on the field.

As anticipation builds, the question isn’t just about who wins, but who lifts the trophy after the chaos that surrounded it last time. will we witness the same drama again?
 

Not Pakistan's Mohsin Naqvi, India Receive Under-19 Asia Cup Runners-Up Medal From This ICC Official​


India failed to clinch a record-extending ninth Under-19 Asia Cup title, suffering a big loss to Pakistan in the final of the tournament at ICC Academy Ground, Dubai, on Sunday. The writing was on the wall when India lost their first five wickets for just 68 in the chase of 348 runs. The side was eventually bundled out for 156, losing the game by 191 runs. Asian Cricket Council chairman and Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi was there at the venue during the game and also at the presentation ceremony, but interestingly, he was not the one to give India their runners-up medal.

Instead of Naqvi, it was Mubashshir Usmani, one of the International Cricket Council Associate Member Directors, who handed India their runners-up medal. The Indian players also didn't walk up to the stage, where Naqvi was standing. They all took their medals at a space on the ground, right before the podium.
