Trophy controversy returns? Mohsin Naqvi to attend India’s Women’s Asia Cup final
Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board and president of the ACC, is set to attend the Women's Asia Cup final. Should India clinch victory, tensions may arise over trophy presentation, reminiscent of last year when India declined to accept the Men's Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi. As India approaches the semi-finals, they emerge as strong contenders for the title.
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.
