A major controversy erupted between the BCCI and the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) over the 2025 Asia Cup trophy, involving ACC president Mohsin Naqvi. The BCCI is seeking an explanation “as to how and why the on-site prizes were withheld and on what authority the ACC President took them over”. After the Suryakumar Yadav-led Indian team refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi after their victory over Pakistan, the ACC chief reportedly took over the silverware. The ACC has now proposed a formal handover in Dubai on November 10, India is unlikely to accept the invitation. The BCCI has warned that if the trophy is not returned, the matter will be referred to the ICC next month.
