Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers shared his take on the WTC format.

Overview

  • India defeated Pakistan in the Dubai final but declined to accept the winners' trophy from ACC president Mohsin Naqvi, ending the on-field ceremony without a handover.
  • The trophy and medals have still not been given to the champions, as Naqvi says India must come to the ACC office to receive them and denies apologising to the BCCI.
  • An ACC session chaired by Naqvi, with BCCI representatives joining remotely, produced no agreement on transferring the silverware or resolving the dispute.
  • BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board will lodge a formal complaint over the incident at the ICC’s next meeting.
  • Public reaction has been polarised, with AB de Villiers calling for politics to stay out of sport, Pakistan’s Basit Ali backing Naqvi’s stance, and India’s Madan Lal criticising Naqvi’s conduct.
