India-Mohsin Naqvi Trophy Row 2.0? PCB Chief To Attend Women’s Asia Cup Final

Naqvi is expected to present the trophy, raising the possibility of another India snub after last year’s men’s final, officials said.

  • Asian Cricket Council president and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi will attend the Women's Asia Cup 2026 final in Dubai on September 13, where he is slated to present the trophy to the eventual champions.
  • Following the 2025 controversy in Dubai where the Indian men's team refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi, the official departed with the silverware still in his possession.
  • Tournament favorites India, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, have advanced undefeated to the knockouts, with the Women in Blue appearing in all nine editions of the event and winning seven titles.
  • Protocol grants Naqvi authority to award the trophy, creating a potential presentation dilemma for the Kaur-led India team regarding whether to accept the silverware from the Pakistani government minister.
  • Tense relations between India and Pakistan have kept bilateral cricket off the calendar, making routine tournament interactions closely watched; the ceremony could become a significant point of international scrutiny if India wins.
