Overview
- BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board has emailed ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi seeking immediate handover and will escalate to the ICC if there is no response.
- Naqvi has refused to send the silverware and proposed a Dubai presentation in early November, asking India to send a player or the captain to collect it.
- The Asia Cup trophy is held at ACC headquarters in Dubai with instructions that it not be moved without Naqvi’s personal authorization.
- Sri Lanka Cricket and the Afghanistan Cricket Board have backed India’s stance, according to ACC sources cited by PTI.
- The dispute began when India declined to accept the trophy from Naqvi after the September 28 final, and the BCCI plans to raise the issue at the ICC meeting next month if it remains unresolved.
