Team India defeated Pakistan by 5 wickets in the Asia Cup 2025 final, marking a dominant and memorable victory.
Pakistan’s Home Minister and ACC Chief, Mohsin Naqvi, refused to hand over the Asia Cup trophy to India immediately after the win, sparking chaos at the ceremony.
He announced that he would only present the trophy to India if a special formal ceremony is organized, delaying the official handover.
Reports emerged that not only the trophy but also some Indian players’ medals went missing, prompting the BCCI to accuse Pakistan of mishandling the event.
BCCI has decided to raise this issue in the upcoming ICC meeting in November and also in the ACC meeting in Dubai on September 30, 2025.
Throughout the Asia Cup, Pakistan was involved in multiple controversies – handshake issues, celebration disputes, and finally, this unprecedented “trophy thief” drama involving Naqvi.
