Trophy Controversy Sparks New Drama
“I Will Return the Asia Cup Trophy Only on One Condition”: PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has agreed to return the Asia Cup 2025 trophy to India, but only on one condition. Find out the details behind this dramatic twist after the IND vs PAK final.
The Asia Cup 2025 final between India and Pakistan has taken a controversial turn, even after India’s five-wicket victory on Sunday. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Mohsin Naqvi is once again making headlines. The senior Pakistani politician and cricket administrator is at the center of a storm after he walked away with the Asia Cup 2025 trophy when the victorious Indian team refused to accept it from him.
Now, reports suggest that Naqvi is finally willing to return the Asia Cup trophy to India—but only on a surprising condition.
According to a report by Cricbuzz, Mohsin Naqvi has told tournament organizers that he will hand over the trophy and medals to India only if a formal ceremony is held, where he personally gets the responsibility of presenting the awards to Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and his team.
Naqvi insists that without such a ceremony, the Asia Cup trophy will not leave his possession. This demand has raised eyebrows across the cricketing world, especially given the long-standing political and sporting tensions between India and Pakistan.
The drama began when Team India, after their emphatic win in the Asia Cup 2025 final, refused to receive the trophy directly from Mohsin Naqvi. Reports indicate that Indian officials were uncomfortable with Naqvi’s involvement in the prize distribution.
Following the refusal, Naqvi allegedly walked away from the podium, carrying the trophy with him to his hotel in Dubai. An official from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) later stated that if Naqvi had attempted to forcibly hand over the trophy, they would have filed a formal protest with the ACC.
The BCCI has now urged Naqvi to return the trophy immediately, emphasizing that the Asia Cup belongs to the ACC and not to any individual.
This incident has further strained ties between the two cricket boards. The BCCI is coordinating with other member associations of the Asian Cricket Council to resolve the matter. Officials have asked Naqvi to deposit the trophy at the ACC office located in Dubai’s Sports City, from where it will be officially sent to India.
The BCCI maintains that Naqvi has no authority to withhold the trophy, as it is the rightful property of the ACC.
Meanwhile, the ACC’s Annual General Meeting (AGM), which was supposed to be held in Bangladesh, has now been shifted to Dubai on Tuesday. The BCCI has reportedly requested a postponement of the meeting, citing the ongoing trophy dispute.

While Naqvi has laid down his terms, experts believe it is highly unlikely that India will agree to such an arrangement. Political relations between the two nations remain tense, and staging a joint ceremony for the handover of the Asia Cup 2025 trophy would be nearly impossible.
For now, the trophy remains locked away in Naqvi’s hotel in Dubai, with both the PCB and BCCI under increasing pressure to resolve the standoff. Cricket fans across Asia are waiting to see whether Naqvi’s condition will be met—or whether the Asia Cup trophy controversy will escalate even further.
