Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers shared his take on the WTC format.

Overview

  • ACC president and Pakistan interior minister Mohsin Naqvi denied apologising to the BCCI and said India must collect the trophy from him at the ACC office in Dubai.
  • Three days after the final, India has yet to receive the winners’ trophy or players’ medals, according to BCCI accounts reported by Indian media.
  • The ACC meeting in Dubai, chaired by Naqvi with BCCI representatives joining remotely, ended without agreement on a handover process.
  • The presentation in Dubai was delayed by more than an hour after India refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi, individual awards were given by other dignitaries, and Naqvi left with the cup.
  • Reaction has been split, with AB de Villiers calling for politics to stay out of sport, former Pakistan player Basit Ali defending Naqvi, and India’s Madan Lal criticising Naqvi’s handling of the ceremony.
