BCCI secretary says Asia Cup trophies will reach board headquarters

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said both the men's and women's Asia Cup trophies will eventually reach the board's headquarters in Mumbai. His remarks followed India's recent Asia Cup triumphs where the teams did not receive their trophies from ACC president Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the PCB chief.

India's women's team refused to attend the trophy presentation after beating Sri Lanka in the Women's T20 Asia Cup final last week. A similar situation unfolded after India's men's team won the Asia Cup last year. The teams instead conducted their own medal presentations.

Saikia confirmed the development after the BCCI's 95th Annual General Meeting in Mumbai on Friday, though he did not specify when the trophies would arrive. The issue could affect future events including the Asian Games cricket tournament in Japan.
