The Indian cricket team launched a new controversy during the Asia Cup 2025 as they refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who is also headed by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB).
The move came under the direction of Cricket for Cricket for Cricket (BCCI) in India after defeating Pakistan in the final of the tournament at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday.
Despite the pressure, Naqvi refused to bow down to India’s demands and remained on its own decision to present the trophy.
This development has focused during the high -profile final in Dubai, which has highlighted stress from the field.
The aftermath of the match was concluded without a trophy handover for blue men.
Despite losing in the Asia Cup final, Pakistan’s players showed the sportsman by participating in the afternoon and collecting medals as a runner -up of the tournament.
According to insiders, this stance was a continuation of India’s strict view throughout the tournament, where he insisted on separate conditions from neutral arrangements.
After men in the recent Blue stunt, “sources about this development told Geo News,” The trophy will not be handed over to India. “
Despite the Indian team’s land in the land, the organizers took the Asia Cup trophy with them, expected to get the title trophy after the match.
Unconscious, the closing ceremony of the eight teams began after an hour -long delay, in which India’s Kuldeep Yadav, Shivam Dob and Tilak Verma won individual awards for their respective performances in the summit collision, while Pakistan captain Salman Ali Akhda was scrutinized.
Later, Kuldeep was once again invited to submit the award as the Asia Cup 2025’s highest wicket -taker, followed by left -handed opener Abhishek Sharma, who was decided to score 314 runs in an average of seven innings of the tournament.
The closing ceremony ended without receiving the trophy to the winning team, as the presentation Simon Doll confirmed the end.
Doll said, “I have been told by the ACC that the Indian cricket team will not submit its awards tonight. So it ends the afternoon of the match.”
Prior to the move, Indian Captain Surya Kumar Yadav once again refused the traditional handcuffs with Pakistani captain Salman Ali Agha on the toss on the toss, which marked the third such number.
The hand -shake comes in the backdrop of the ongoing array between rivals, which arises from a group phase collision, which attracted considerable attention both in and outside the field.

Yadav duck questions, the trophy is missing after winning
Yadav faced questions from journalists after the Asia Cup T20 final, but his responses disappointed many reporters.
Instead of removing concern, Yadav overturned questions about sports manufacturing violations during the tournament.
When asked about the trophy, the Indian captain appeared ridiculous.
Yadav said, “We have never been told about the trophy.” This was a decision we had taken on the ground. I also saw the champions board coming. “
In an extraordinary complaint, Yadav said, “We played good cricket in the Asia Cup, but the trophy was not given to us. We felt the trophy with the soul.”
He added that in his career, he had never seen any winning team going without getting the trophy.
Reporters asked Yadav why politics came to the game, why he did not agree with the Pakistani team, and why he broke the rules of sportsmanship. He did not answer clearly and avoided questions.
The situation worsened when the Indian media manager stopped a Pakistani journalist from asking questions. People in the room looked upset.
Finally, the mood was heavy. It was not just the result of the match that people were thinking about. The fans and reporters were also worried about how the tournament was played and the teams attitude.
