Overview
- India beat Pakistan for a ninth Asia Cup title, but players declined to receive the trophy from ACC and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi, who then left the venue with the silverware.
- BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board will file a formal complaint at the ICC meetings in early November over Naqvi's conduct and the withheld trophy and medals.
- At an ACC session in Dubai, Indian representatives pressed for an immediate handover, with one report saying Naqvi did not congratulate India as the dispute remained unresolved.
- Suryakumar Yadav said the decision to avoid taking the trophy from Naqvi was made by the players on the field and not at the behest of the government or BCCI.
- Reports indicate Naqvi has conditioned any handover on a formal ceremony or the captain collecting the cup from ACC offices in Dubai, leaving the trophy in Dubai for now.
