'When national pride turns into arrogance, victory brings no reward' — Mohammad Yousuf

Mohammad Yousuf accused India of arrogance after the team declined to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi.

Former Pakistan batter Mohammad Yousuf has criticised India's decision not to accept the Women's Asia Cup trophy from ACC president Mohsin Naqvi. Yousuf posted on social media that a team may win but a nation without humility remains a loser.

India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the final but stayed in the dressing room during the presentation. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board had informed Naqvi in advance of the decision. Only the Sri Lankan team collected their runners-up medals.

Naqvi handed the runners-up cheque to Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu after the ceremony was delayed by nearly an hour. Yousuf's comments add to the ongoing debate over the trophy standoff.
