Overview
- The Asia Cup 2025 trophy remains locked at the ACC headquarters in Dubai under instructions that it not be moved without Mohsin Naqvi’s approval and presence.
- The BCCI has formally demanded immediate handover and says it will raise the unresolved issue at the ICC board meeting in Dubai next month if Naqvi does not comply.
- In a written reply, Naqvi called parts of the BCCI’s letter slanderous, denied receiving prior notice of India’s stance, said he waited about 40 minutes at the presentation, and asserted the trophy is being held in trust for collection by a BCCI office-holder with a player.
- Sri Lanka Cricket and the Afghanistan Cricket Board have supported the BCCI’s request in communications to the ACC.
- The row began when India declined to accept the trophy and medals from Naqvi after the September 28 final against Pakistan, after which the ACC president removed the trophy to the council’s office.
