The Indian Cricket team started a new controversy during the Asia Cup 2025 when they refused to accept the trophy of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who also leads the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
Allegedly the move to the guidelines of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) came after India was beating the Asia Cup champions by Pakistan in the tournamentinals in the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Despite the pressure, Naqvi remained determined in his decision to present the trophy himself and refused to bow to the requirements of India.
The development has drawn attention during the controversial final in Dubai, which emphasizes tensions from the field.
The ceremony after the game was closed without a transfer to the men in blue.
Despite losing the Asia Cup final, Pakistani players exhibited sportiness by attending the ceremony after the game and gathering medals as the second place of the tournament.
According to insiders, the attitude was a continuation of the rigid approach of India during the tournament, where they insist on circumstances that were detached from neutral regulations.
Before the Unververeded, the final ceremony of the eight-team started after a delay of one hour, in which the Indian Kuldep Yadav, Shivam Dube and Tilak Varma received individual prices for their respective versions in the Summit collision, while Pakistan Captain Salman Ali Agha collected the prize money to complete the runner-up.
Later, Kuldeep was again invited to collect the best bowler of the Tournament Award, followed by left -handed opener Abhishek Sharma, who received the player from the tournament.
The closing ceremony was closed without the winning team received the trophy, as presenter Simon D down confirmed his conclusion.
“I was informed by the ACC that the Indian Cricket team will not collect any prizes tonight. So that concludes the presentation after the competition,” Doull inquired.
Prior to this step, the Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav again refused a usual handshake with Pakistan skipper Salman Ali Agha at the Worp today, which marked the third such snub.
The handshake snub comes in the background of a continuous row between the arch rivals, which emerged from the group stage collision, which attracted a lot of attention both and outside the field.
