Overview

• India declined to accept the trophy from ACC president Mohsin Naqvi after the September 28 final, leading to an hour‑plus delay before broadcaster Simon Doull ended the ceremony and the trophy left the venue.
• Naqvi publicly denied apologising to the BCCI and stated the champions must receive the trophy from him at the ACC office in Dubai.
• An ACC meeting in Dubai chaired by Naqvi produced no decision on the handover, with BCCI representatives joining remotely and registering objections.
• BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board will file a formal complaint at the ICC's November meetings over the presentation dispute.
• Reactions remain divided, with AB de Villiers urging politics be kept out of sport and Pakistan’s Basit Ali criticising India, against a backdrop of handshake snubs and player fines during the tournament.
