Potential Trophy Presentation Issue at Women's Asia Cup Involving Mohsin Naqvi
The 2026 Women's Asia Cup in Dubai, scheduled from August 28 to September 13, may present a trophy presentation dilemma if India wins and Pakistan's Mohsin Naqvi, Asian Cricket Council chief and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman, is on the dais. Last year, the Indian men's team refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi due to political tensions following the Pahalgam terror attack, leaving the trophy undelivered. India and Pakistan are in the same group, with a possible final clash raising questions about the presentation ceremony. The BCCI has not clarified its stance, adopting a wait-and-watch approach.
