BCCI Vice-President Rajeev Shukla explained the Indian women's cricket team's decision not to accept the Women's Asia Cup trophy from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi. The team opted not to receive the trophy after a "thorough discussion" with the BCCI, with no confrontation reported between the two parties. The Women's Asia Cup title was won by India over Sri Lanka in a record-extending eighth win.
The Indian men's team also declined to accept the 2025 Asia Cup trophy. Shukla downplayed the significance of BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia meeting Naqvi during the match, stating that such interactions are commonplace. The Indian women's team, confident after their Asian Games victory, is set to continue their winning streak at the upcoming Asian Games in Aichi Prefecture, Japan.
