Mohsin Naqvi's ACC Presidency Faces Scrutiny After Asia Cup Trophy Presentation Disputes
Mohsin Naqvi, president of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), Pakistan Cricket Board chairman, and Pakistan's Interior Minister, faces renewed scrutiny after India's women's team declined to accept the 2026 Women's Asia Cup trophy from him, repeating a similar incident from the previous men's Asia Cup. The BCCI had informed the ACC in advance of India's stance, proposing alternatives that were rejected. Naqvi's overlapping political and cricket roles amid tense India-Pakistan relations complicate his position and may affect his ACC tenure, which ends in 2027 with uncertain prospects for extension.
