DUBAI: Following their victory over Pakistan in the competition final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, the Indian cricket team declined to collect the Asia Cup 2025 trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and the head of the PCB. This sparked a new controversy on Sunday night.
Insiders claim that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) ordered the historic action, which many observers saw as just another example of Indian conceit and cricket politicization.
