Asia Cup Trophy Drama: Mohsin Naqvi in Trouble as BCCI, Sri Lanka & Afghanistan Demand Action

The Asia Cup trophy controversy has now slowly taken a serious turn, and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) president Mohsin Naqvi is again in the spotlight over the Asia Cup trophy drama. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI), backed by Sri Lanka and Afghanistan, have raised concerns and demanded action for refusing to hand over the Asia Cup 2025 trophy to the Indian Team.

PCB Chief and Pakistan interior minister Mohsin Naqvi want the BCCI representatives to come to Dubai and take over the trophy from him at his office only. Whereas BCCI doesn't want to take over the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, they want the Asia Cup trophy to be handed over to the ICC or the BCCI office. 

What is the Asia Cup Trophy Drama All About?

The controversy started after the Asia Cup 2025 Trophy presentation ceremony when Indian Team Skipper Suryakumar Yadav refused to accept the trophy from ACC and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi. India refused since Naqvi is also Pakistan's interior minister, and tensions were high between both nations after the Pahalgam terror attack, which was supported by Pakistan.

Mohsin Naqvi took away both the trophy and team medals, and now, the trophy is locked inside the ACC headquarters in Dubai. The Indian Team celebrated the victory with an imaginary trophy after the post-match ceremony.

BCCI's firm stand and Support from other Nations:

Naqvi wants the BCCI Official to personally collect the Asia Cup trophy from him. But, BCCI rejected Naqvi's demand, and they want the trophy to be officially and unconditionally delivered to India. 

BCCI Secretary, with Support from the Sri Lankan Cricket Board and the Afghanistan Cricket Board, wrote to Naqvi to hand over the trophy to the BCCI. All three boards condemned Naqvi's behaviour and demanded accountability from the ACC President.

ICC Involvement and Possible Action:

BCCI has reported the issue to the International Cricket Council (ICC), and the Asia Cup trophy controversy is expected to come up in the ICC's November meeting. Boards have demanded disciplinary action against Naqvi.
