I Feel We Deserved It (the Trophy), I Can't Say Anything More: Suryakumar on Asia Cup Trophy Not Being Presented to Indian Team.

India refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Pakistan-linked ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi due to political tensions and his dual role, with the team winning nine Asia Cups overall.

  • On September 28, India beat Pakistan by five wickets at Dubai International Cricket Stadium, yet the champions were not given the trophy or medals.
  • Tensions over Naqvi's dual role prompted the Indian camp to refuse the standard trophy presentation as India rejected the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, ACC chairman and Pakistan Interior Minister.
  • Delayed by more than an hour, the presentation faltered as Pakistan players arrived late and ACC organising committee quietly removed the trophy while Indian players celebrated on the podium with trophy emojis in social media posts.
  • The BCCI plans to lodge a formal protest and take the issue to the ICC conference in Dubai, with secretary Devajit Saikia confirming India declined the trophy from Naqvi and promised strict action.
  • Suryakumar Yadav told reporters `This is something I have never seen in all my years of playing and following cricket. A champion team was denied a trophy, and it was a hard-earned one.` He praised the 14 guys and announced he will donate his match fees to the Indian armed forces.
