BCCI Expects Asia Cup Trophy in 'Day or Two,' Warns of ICC Escalation

Custody sits with ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi following India’s refusal to accept his on-stage presentation.

Overview

  • BCCI joint secretary Devajit Saikia said the board expects the trophy to arrive at its Mumbai headquarters within the next 48 hours.
  • He added that the matter will be raised at the ICC quarterly meeting in Dubai on November 4 if the deadlock continues.
  • India beat Pakistan by five wickets in the Dubai final but did not take possession after declining a handover from Mohsin Naqvi.
  • Saikia said the BCCI wrote to the ACC chairman about 10 days ago seeking the trophy’s release and has seen no shift in position.
  • Naqvi has insisted on personally presenting the cup and has been reported to suggest collection at a future event, following a presentation in Dubai that was delayed by over an hour before the trophy was removed.
