Asia Cup: Indian women's cricket team refuses to accept trophy from ACC head Mohsin Naqvi
Harmanpreet Kaur-led India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs here to lift their record-extending eighth Asia Cup title, but the players did not come out on the field for post-tournament presentation ceremonies
The Indian women's cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairperson from Pakistan, following their victory over Sri Lanka in the tournament. This marks the second year in a row that the Indian team has declined to receive the trophy, mirroring the decision made by the men's team last year.
The Indian women's team members did not return to the ground after the presentation, instead opting for an impromptu celebration without the physical prize. The trophy remains in the ACC office, and the Sri Lankan team received the runners-up cheque and medals from Naqvi.
