According to the news agency <em>PTI<\/em>, which quoted a source in the ACC, Naqvi made the admission during the organization\u2019s meeting in Dubai on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p id=\"1\" class=\"story_para_1\">After edging Pakistan in a tense last-over finish, India created shockwaves by refusing to accept the Asia Cup trophy and medals. The team stood firm in its protest, objecting to Naqvi presenting the awards, given the politician\u2019s history of hostile anti-India remarks and ridicule of Indian sentiment.<\/p>\n<p id=\"2\" class=\"story_para_2\">Naqvi, who holds dual roles as ACC president and Pakistan Cricket Board chief, refused to step aside. Even when India, backed strongly by the BCCI, proposed neutral figures like Khalid Al Zarooni of the Emirates Cricket Board or Bangladesh\u2019s Aminul Islam, Naqvi dismissed the suggestions outright.<\/p>\n<p id=\"3\" class=\"story_para_3\">The confrontation led to an hour-long stand-off, which ended in extraordinary scenes as Naqvi walked off the stadium with ACC officials following him with the trophy in hand. Unfazed, Indian players broke into improvised celebrations, lifting imaginary cups.<\/p>\n<p id=\"4\" class=\"story_para_4\">As reported by\u00a0<em>CNN-News18 <\/em>earlier, the BCCI. represented by Rajeev Shukla and Ashish Shelar, expressed its strong objections over Naqvi\u2019s \u2018attitude\u2019 at the meeting. The board believes that Naqvi took the trophy to his hotel in Dubai and asked him to submit it back to the ACC headquarters in Delhi.<\/p>\n<p id=\"5\" class=\"story_para_5\">But the Pakistani interior minister didn\u2019t relent, insisting that the topic wasn\u2019t to be discussed in the Annual General Meeting of the organisation and suggested addressing it at another time. The meeting\u2019s primary agenda was to elect a vice chairman, but even that decision was postponed.<\/p>\n<p id=\"6\" class=\"story_para_6\"><em>CNN-News18\u00a0<\/em>had also reported that Naqvi didn\u2019t congratulate India for the win in the Asia Cup. During the meeting, Naqvi\u2019s brief opening remarks congratulated Nepal for its victory against the West Indies and Mongolia for joining the ACC, but omitted mention of India\u2019s win. This prompted Shelar to question why India wasn\u2019t congratulated, leading Naqvi to begrudgingly offer congratulations.<\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-4267118774 atbtlink fp\"><span>First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"rs\">\n<p>September 30, 2025, 20:12 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-c9f81425ec968c48 jsx-4267118774 brdcrmb\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/\">News<\/a>  <a href=\"https:\/\/www.news18.com\/cricket\/\">cricket<\/a>  <span class=\"brdout\"> Mohsin Naqvi&#8217;s Humiliating Admission At ACC Meeting: &#8216;Felt Like A Cartoon&#8217;<\/span><\/div>\n<div id=\"coral-wrap\" class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f \">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coral-cont\">\n<div class=\"jsx-ba4d8f086a12294f coltoptxt\">Disclaimer: Comments reflect users\u2019 views, not News18\u2019s.
