The International Cricket Council (ICC) may form a panel soon to resolve the Asia Cup 2025 trophy issue between India and Pakistan. India won the 2025 edition of the Asia Cup title by getting the better of Pakistan by 5 wickets in the final played at Dubai International Cricket Stadium on September 28. But the Suryakumar Yadav-led side were denied the trophy after they refused to collect it from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chief Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the president of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and a minister in Pakistan’s government.
After Indian players refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi, he left the stadium with the trophy and has not returned it back to India so far.
In the ICC meeting on Friday (November 7), where the Asia Cup trophy issue was raised by BCCI representative Devajit Saikia, Naqvi arrived at the ICC headquarters in Dubai.
According to Cricbuzz, the atmosphere in the meeting was cordial rather than serious among the members of the ICC Board when the Asia Cup issue was raised.
“The BCCI pointed out that Naqvi, in the capacity of Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman, was holding on to the trophy, which rightfully belonged to India, the Indian team and the BCCI.
It has been reported that the BCCI secretary pointed out that the trophy should be handed over to India immediately.
As per Cricbuzz, if required, the ICC may form a panel to address the Asia Cup trophy issue.
“The BCCI’s stand has been that the trophy should be handed over to India soon. It is a well-known fact that the silverware remains locked up in the ACC office in Dubai, with orders from Naqvi that it should not be moved without his authorisation.”
