Overview

• India declined to accept the winners’ trophy and medals from ACC chairman and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi after defeating Pakistan in the final in Dubai.
• The presentation was delayed for roughly an hour, and broadcaster Simon Doull announced India would not collect awards before the team celebrated on the podium without silverware.
• BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said Naqvi left with the trophy and medals and called the move unsportsmanlike, adding the board wants the items returned.
• India had asked for Emirates Cricket Board vice-chair Khalid Al Zarooni to conduct the handover, a request reports say Naqvi denied.
• Saikia said the BCCI will lodge a strong protest at the ICC Board meeting in Dubai in November, while captain Suryakumar Yadav noted it was the first time he had seen champions denied a trophy.
