Asia Cup trophy controversy: Will India accept Women's Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi after last year's snub?
India could face another trophy presentation dilemma if Mohsin Naqvi is present at the Women's Asia Cup final.
The India Women's Asia Cup team may face an awkward situation if they advance to the finals and secure victory. There are reports suggesting that ACC President and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is expected to attend the closing ceremony and present the trophy to the winning team after the final match in Dubai. However, a crucial question arises: will the Indian Women's team accept the trophy from Naqvi if they emerge victorious?
This particular scenario transpired during the men's Asia Cup last year, where India declined to accept the trophy from Naqvi after defeating Pakistan in the final. The Sporting News states that Naqvi is set to be present at the Women's T20 Asia Cup closing ceremony in Dubai. If the Indian Women's team emerges triumphant, any potential conflict between India and Pakistan regarding the trophy cannot be discounted.
The Women's Asia Cup final is scheduled for September 13 at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium.
