BCCI to Challenge Mohsin Naqvi’s Eligibility at ICC Meeting as Asia Cup Trophy Dispute Escalates

India contends Naqvi’s dual public and cricket posts breach ICC governance rules.

Overview

  • The BCCI has compiled a list of charges and plans to question Mohsin Naqvi’s eligibility at the ICC board meeting in Dubai this week, according to multiple reports.
  • The Asia Cup trophy remains in ACC custody in the UAE after India did not receive it from Naqvi at the September 28 final, and the BCCI rejected a proposed Dubai handover ceremony.
  • Reports say Naqvi’s attendance is uncertain due to domestic commitments, with PCB COO Sumair Syed expected to represent the board if he skips the meeting.
  • The Afghanistan Cricket Board is reported to back India’s position and could push for Naqvi to relinquish one of his roles.
  • PCB sources defend Naqvi’s conduct as within ACC authority and say he has taken legal advice ahead of any challenge.
