Asia Cup Trophy Locked at ACC Office as BCCI to Take Dispute to ICC

ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi ordered the cup held in Dubai until he can present it personally after India declined to receive it from him.

Overview

  • The trophy remains locked at the ACC headquarters in Dubai with instructions that it not be moved or handed over without Mohsin Naqvi’s in‑person approval, according to PTI-cited sources.
  • BCCI officials say they will raise the matter at the ICC’s upcoming meetings, with proposals reported to include seeking Naqvi’s censure or removal as an ICC director.
  • Naqvi removed the trophy from the presentation stage on September 28 after the Indian team refused to accept it from him following their win over Pakistan.
  • BCCI maintains the silverware should have been transferred to its custody under standard protocol and stresses the trophy is not Naqvi’s personal property.
  • Reports say Naqvi has insisted India must collect the cup from him in Dubai; the row follows a tournament marked by Indo‑Pak tensions, including no handshakes and politically charged gestures.
