BCCI issues 48-hour ultimatum to Mohsin Naqvi to handover Asia Cup trophy to India
The matter is likely to get escalated as BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia is planning to take up the matter at the International Cricket Council’s quarterly meeting that will be held on November 4.
PTC News Desk: The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has issued a 48-hour ultimatum to the ICC Chairman and PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi to hand over the Asia Cup trophy to the winning team India.
The matter is likely to get escalated as BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia is planning to take up the matter at the International Cricket Council’s quarterly meeting that will be held on November 4.
Notably, it has been more than a month since India won the 2025 edition of the tournament and the trophy remains undelivered.
The BCCI joint secretary Devajit Saikia confirmed the board’s intention to raise the matter at the ICC meeting while expressing optimism that the trophy would reach the BCCI headquarters in Mumbai imminently.
The cricket body has been actively pursuing the matter through official channels. “We are pursuing this matter. About 10 days ago, we also wrote a letter to the chairman of ACC, but there is no change in their stand,” Saikia revealed.
Despite the impasse, he expressed optimism for an imminent resolution: “They are still keeping the trophy under their custody, but we hope that the trophy will reach us in a day or two at the BCCI office in Mumbai.”
he further warned that if the handover doesn't materialise soon, the matter will be formally tabled at next ICC's quarterly meetings in Dubai.
On behalf of BCCI we are fully prepared how to deal with the matter and I can assure the people of India that the trophy will come back to India, only the timeline is not fixed. We have won all matches against Pakistan and won the trophy. We have won the championship, everything is on record, only the trophy is missing. I hope good sense will prevail,” Saikia said.
