BCCI Demands Asia Cup Trophy From ACC, Threatens ICC Escalation

The board signaled formal action after ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi kept the trophy in Dubai following India’s refusal to receive it from him.

Overview

  • India’s cricket board sent an official email on October 21 instructing ACC president Mohsin Naqvi to hand the Asia Cup 2025 trophy to India without delay.
  • Naqvi has proposed a first‑week‑of‑November handover ceremony and asked that India send a player to receive the trophy, maintaining that he will present it in person.
  • The silverware remains at ACC headquarters in Dubai, where it was taken after India declined to accept the on‑field presentation on September 28.
  • The BCCI rejected Naqvi’s conditions, reiterated that the trophy should have been presented on the field, and warned it will lodge a complaint with the ICC if there is no satisfactory response.
  • ACC members from Sri Lanka and Afghanistan have backed India’s request, and the dispute is expected to be raised in ICC forums next month according to officials and reports.
