Overview
- Multiple reports citing ANI and ACC staff say the trophy was removed from the ACC’s Dubai office and relocated to an undisclosed site in Abu Dhabi under Mohsin Naqvi’s custody.
- The BCCI has formally requested the handover in writing and has signaled it will raise the matter at upcoming ICC meetings if the stalemate continues.
- Naqvi maintains the cup will be presented only at a formal event or collected in person by an Indian player or official in Dubai, a condition India rejects.
- Tilak Varma said the team waited about an hour after the final as talks dragged on, the trophy was taken off the dais, and players staged trophy‑less celebrations.
- A viral video from a Pakistani event lauding Naqvi’s stance, including a remark that “the whole of India is chasing the trophy,” added to the political overtones of the dispute.
