'We should not play Pakistan': WC winner after India refuse Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi
Harmanpreet Kaur-led India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs to win a record-extending eighth Women's Asia Cup title. However, the Indian players did not come out for the post-match presentation ceremony. Indian women's cricket team did not accept the Asia Cup trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi after winning the title on Sunday.
Former India fast bowler Kranti Gaud has been penalized 10% of her match fee for breaching the ICC Code of Conduct during the Asia Cup 2026 Women's final against Sri Lanka in Dubai. The action took place after Gaud dismissed Sri Lanka's opener Imesha Dulani in the opening over. Gaud made a gesture towards the pavilion after taking the wicket, which the ICC deemed inappropriate as it could incite an aggressive reaction from the batter.
Despite admitting to the offense, Gaud accepted the proposed punishment, thus avoiding a formal hearing. This is her first offense within a 24-month period. The fine adds one demerit point to her disciplinary record.
