From Naqvi’s Walkout to Suryakumar’s Protest: The Untold Story of the Asia Cup 2025 Final

The Board of Control for Cricket in India plans to protest at the International Cricket Council meeting over Mohsin Naqvi taking the Asia Cup trophy amid political tensions.

  • On Sep 29, 2025, the Board of Control for Cricket in India said it will lodge a 'very strong protest' at the ICC's November meeting targeting ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi and the Pakistan Cricket Board over the post-match presentation row.
  • BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said India would not accept the trophy from Naqvi because he serves as Pakistan's Interior Minister amid fallout from the Pahalgam attack and alleged anti-India remarks.
  • India beat Pakistan by five wickets with Tilak Varma unbeaten 69, but match officials delayed the presentation by 90 minutes amid negotiations over Naqvi's role.
  • Mohsin Naqvi exited the venue with the trophy and medals after the presentation ended prematurely, while tournament officials retained the silverware and the Indian team posed with an imaginary trophy.
  • After the final, the BCCI delegation cut its digital feed and left the ACC meeting as Rajeev Shukla pressed for the trophy handover and Naqvi said India could collect it in Dubai.
