Mohsin Naqvi has no plans to return Asia Cup trophies to India

After the Board of Control for Cricket in India claim that it will bring the men's and women's Asia Cup trophies home in the near future, Pakistani media have claimed that the Asian Cricket Council chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, has no intention of giving up the silverware.

According to Geo, the trophies will remain at the ACC office in Dubai, in Naqvi's possession, as the Pakistani politician is adamant about his demand that the Indian teams receive the trophy only from him.

The saga began during the 2025 men's Asia Cup when India, after beating Pakistan in the final, refused to take the trophy from Naqvi at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium. India's position at the time was backed by the BCCI in light of the Pahalgam attack, and by the fact that Naqvi is the interior minister of Pakistan, with a history of offensive statements against India.
