BCCI demands Asia Cup trophy during heated ACC meet, chair Mohsin Naqvi 'beats around bush'
At a recent Asian Cricket Council meeting held in Dubai, representatives from the BCCI—Rajeev Shukla and Ashish Shelar—demanded that the Asia Cup trophy and winner’s medals be formally handed over to India. However, ACC Chair Mohsin Naqvi sidestepped the request, failing to acknowledge India’s tournament victory until urged by Shelar. Naqvi reportedly avoided direct responses throughout the meeting and did not commit to transferring the trophy to the ACC office as proposed. As a result, India has not yet received its rightful prizes despite winning the final. The BCCI plans to raise a formal protest at the upcoming ICC meeting in Dubai. Meanwhile, the ACC may convene further sessions to address the standoff over the trophy transfer.
