NEW DELHI: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has written an email to Mohsin Naqvi, President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), to return the Asia Cup trophy to India, which won the title in Dubai recently.
After beating Pakistan by five wickets in the summit clash, the Indian team refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi during the post-match presentation ceremony because the ACC chief also serves as the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and also Pakistan’s Interior Minister.
As per a media report, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said the board is awaiting a response from Naqvi, and if there is nothing from his side, we will escalate the matter to ICC with an official mail, adding that the board is "going step by step with the process and will keep pursuing the matter".
