Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), caused a new scandal when the Indian cricket team refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy.
Following India’s victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) reportedly ordered the action.
Naqvi refused to budge from his resolve to give the trophy himself in the face of pressure from India.
Tensions off the field have been highlighted by the development, which has drawn attention during the high-profile final in Dubai.
The Men in Blue did not get their trophies as the post-match ritual came to an end.
