Mohsin Naqvi Conceals Asia Cup 2025 Trophy in Abu Dhabi Amid BCCI Official’s ACC Visit
Reports of Trophy Relocation
In a developing story surrounding the Asia Cup 2025 trophy, recent reports indicate that the prestigious cup is currently under the custody of Mohsin Naqvi, the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). The trophy has reportedly been moved from the ACC office in Dubai to an undisclosed location in Abu Dhabi.
The controversy emerged after the Indian Cricket Team secured victory in the final against Pakistan. Following their triumph, the players, led by Suryakumar Yadav, declined to accept the trophy from Naqvi, who also serves as Pakistan’s interior minister. Consequently, an ACC official removed the trophy from the venue without further explanation, leading to a podium celebration devoid of the silverware for the victorious Indian team.
BCCI’s Official Inquiry
Upon their return to India, the Indian players found themselves without the trophy or medals. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) soon raised concerns with the ACC, seeking clarification on the trophy’s whereabouts. In response, Naqvi instructed the BCCI to collect the trophy from the ACC office in Dubai.
A BCCI official visited the ACC headquarters to inquire about the Asia Cup 2025 trophy, only to learn that it had been transferred to a different location in Abu Dhabi and is under Naqvi’s control. “When he inquired about the trophy, the staff informed him that it has been removed from here and is in the custody of Mohsin Naqvi,” sources disclosed.
Trophy Row After the Final
Following the chaos surrounding the trophy, an ACC meeting was convened to address the situation. There were initial claims that Naqvi apologized to the BCCI, but these reports have been firmly denied by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Earlier this month, Naqvi conditioned the trophy’s return on a visit from Indian officials. He also suggested hosting a ceremony to present the Asia Cup 2025 trophy to the Indian team. As the BCCI explores its options, it is reportedly planning to discuss this matter with the International Cricket Council (ICC) during an official meeting scheduled for December.
