Harmanpreet Kaur & Co Asked To Refuse Asia Cup 2026 Trophy From Mohsin Naqvi After Victory: Report

The controversy surrounding the Asia Cup trophy has resurfaced as India prepares to face Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup 2026 final. According to reports, the Indian team has been instructed not to accept the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, the president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Pakistan's minister. This comes after the team declined to take the trophy from Naqvi during the 2025 Men's Asia Cup final, which ended in controversy.

The development echoes the political tensions that have often marred cricket events involving India and Pakistan, raising questions about the potential for another trophy presentation controversy if India emerge victorious in the Women's Asia Cup final.
