‘We are the champions’: India women’s head coach stands by team's refusal to receive Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi
India women’s head coach Amol Muzumdar backs the team’s decision to refuse the Asia Cup trophy from ACC president Mohsin Naqvi after their title triumph.
India’s women’s cricket team secured their record-breaking eighth Women’s Asia Cup title after defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs in Dubai. However, the celebratory celebration was overshadowed by a decision to skip the trophy presentation ceremony involving the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president, Mohsin Naqvi. India’s head coach, Amol Muzumdar, defended the BCCI's choice, stating that the tournament was officially concluded and that the team's superiority was evident on the scoreboard.
This move echoes the decision made by the Indian men’s team during the 2025 Asia Cup where they also refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi. The controversy surrounding the trophy issue between India and Pakistan continues to be a point of contention, and the BCCI and ACC will have to navigate these sensitive political and organizational matters.
