BCCI Weighs ICC Escalation as Naqvi Withholds Asia Cup Trophy, Proposes Dubai Handover in November

The trophy sits in the ACC’s Dubai office pending an in‑person collection by a BCCI official with a player at a ceremony proposed for November 10.

Overview

  • The BCCI has formally demanded immediate return of the Asia Cup 2025 trophy and warned it will take the dispute to the ICC if the ACC president does not comply.
  • ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi rejected an unconditional release, insisting on a formal presentation in Dubai with a BCCI office‑holder and at least one Indian player present.
  • Reports cite Naqvi’s proposal for an early‑November handover, including a November 10 date, with the silverware remaining at ACC headquarters in Dubai until then.
  • Sri Lanka Cricket and the Afghanistan Cricket Board have backed India’s position, and the BCCI plans to raise the matter at the ICC meeting next month.
  • India declined to accept the trophy on stage after the final in protest over Naqvi’s dual roles and social posts, with Naqvi arguing ceremony protocol and denying prior notice of a boycott.
