After beating Pakistan in the Asia Cup final, India refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chief, Mohsin Naqvi, who also acts as Pakistan’s Interior Minister.
As a result, the winning team had to celebrate its victory in the tournament without a trophy in a bizzare turn of events. Nearly a month later, the winners have not been handed over the trophy, despite repeated demands from the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI).
It is now understood that the BCCI could seek International Cricket Council (ICC) intervention in the next meeting after failing to get a response from the ACC chief on handing back the trophy.
BCCI wrote an official email asking for the trophy to be handed over last week but hasn’t got any response yet.
