Overview

• Deccan Chronicle reports India declined to receive the trophy from ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi, stalling the ceremony in Dubai.
• Event staff then took the silverware into the Indian dressing room after team officials warned they would file a protest if Naqvi proceeded, the report adds.
• The newspaper also describes fans booing Naqvi and Pakistani players remaining in the dressing room for nearly an hour before reappearing.
• Earlier coverage from News18 flagged uncertainty over whether captain Suryakumar Yadav would share the stage and suggested an assistant coach might collect the cup as a workaround.
• The flashpoint follows a group-stage no-handshake episode, Pakistan’s complaints about referee Andy Pycroft, ICC rulings, and Naqvi’s attacks on ICC officials, calls for severe charges against Yadav, and a cryptic celebration echoed by Haris Rauf.
