BCCI Sets ICC Escalation Over Asia Cup Trophy Standoff as 48–72-Hour Deadline Looms

The board has given the ACC up to three days to deliver the silverware before it seeks remedies at the ICC's November 4 meeting.

Overview

  • More than a month after India won the final on September 28, the Asia Cup trophy remains in ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi's custody.
  • BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said a formal letter was sent to the ACC about 10 days ago and that there has been no positive response.
  • Saikia indicated the board expects the trophy to reach its Mumbai office in a day or two, failing which the issue will be tabled at the ICC's Dubai meetings.
  • Naqvi has insisted on a personal handover or that an Indian player or official collect the trophy in person, a condition the BCCI rejects.
  • The post-match presentation in Dubai was delayed by over an hour before the trophy was removed from the stage, leaving India to celebrate without the silverware.
