BCCI secretary slams Mohsin Naqvi for his unsportsmanlike behaviour.

India defeated Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 finals and claimed the cup; however, they refused to receive their medals and the trophy from ACC Chief Mohsin Naqvi. Not able to digest this, Naqvi left the stadium with the trophy for his hotel. BCCI secretary DevajitSaikia lashed out at Naqvi for this behaviour. He strongly criticised ACC chief Naqvi’s conduct during the Asia Cup trophy ceremony, explaining why India refused to accept the trophy and vowing a formal protest over the incident.

What did DevajitSaikia say on Mohsin Naqvi’s unsportsmanlike behaviour?

Saikia told ANI, “India is fighting a war with a country, and a leader belonging to that country was supposed to hand over the trophy to us…We cannot accept a trophy from a person who represents a country that is waging a war against our country. So we have refused to take that trophy, but that does not mean that the gentleman will take the trophy and the medals, which are to be given to our country, to his own hotel room. That is totally unexpected, and we hope that his good sense will prevail. We are going to lodge a very strong protest against the behaviour of the gentleman in today’s prize distribution ceremony.”

BCCI launches a very serious protest against ACC Chief Mohsin Naqvi.

DevajitSaikia didn’t hold back and slammed the ACC Chief’s “unsportsmanlike” act of walking away with the Asia Cup trophy and medals. He added, “We have decided not to take the Asia Cup 2025 trophy from the ACC chairman, who happens to be one of the main leaders of Pakistan. So we decided not to take it from him. But that does not mean that the gentleman will take away the trophy with him, along with the medals. So it is very unfortunate and unsportsmanlike, and we hope that the trophy and the medals will be returned to India as soon as possible.”
