Overview
- India’s board sent an official email on Oct. 21 demanding immediate transfer of the Asia Cup 2025 trophy and warned it will take the dispute to the ICC if there is no compliance.
- Mohsin Naqvi responded that the silverware will only be handed over at a formal presentation, requiring a BCCI official and at least one player to collect it in Dubai.
- The trophy remains secured at the ACC headquarters in Dubai under Naqvi’s instructions after India declined to receive it at the delayed on-field ceremony.
- Sri Lanka Cricket and the Afghanistan Cricket Board have backed BCCI’s position, and India plans to push the matter at the ICC’s early November meeting.
- In a letter cited by outlets, Naqvi said he waited about 40 minutes at the presentation and accused BCCI of politicising the event, while BCCI argues the on‑field handover protocol was breached.
