Overview

• Newly circulated footage shows ACC and PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi exiting the presentation area as an aide removed the Asia Cup trophy.
• India declined to receive the trophy from Naqvi and asked for Khalid Al Zarooni to make the handover, a request the ACC did not grant.
• A standoff stretched for over an hour with Naqvi waiting on stage, the Indian team standing apart, and Pakistan remaining in their dressing room.
• The altered ceremony went ahead with Indian players accepting individual awards on the field but without the team trophy present.
• Pakistan’s runners-up medals were presented by BCB chairman Animul Islam, and players had minimal interaction with Naqvi during the proceedings.
