A new dispute over the Asia Cup trophy has emerged as the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has informed the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) that the trophy will be handed over in the first week of November, sources revealed.

According to reports, the BCCI had written a formal letter to the ACC requesting the trophy’s handover. In response, the ACC confirmed that the trophy presentation ceremony will take place in Dubai during the first week of November.

Sources further added that the BCCI had addressed the letter directly to ACC Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, asking for a handover date.

However, the ACC clarified that if the Indian board wants to receive the trophy, it should attend the official ceremony in Dubai to collect it.

The delay in the handover of the Asia Cup trophy has fueled speculation since the conclusion of the tournament, but the ACC’s recent response has settled the timeline for the event.

Karachi: Former Pakistan captain Rashid Latif has strongly criticized the Indian cricket team for refusing to receive the Asia Cup 2025 trophy.

In a post on social media platform X, Latif said that the Indian team’s refusal to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Chairman and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi constitutes a clear case for suspension.

He added that had this incident occurred in any other sport, immediate action would have been taken. However, since several top ICC officials, including the Chairman, CEO, CFO, Commercial Head, and Head of Events, are Indian, the chances of suspension are slim.

Calling it a dark day for cricket, Latif stated that India openly violated the spirit of the game and the values of the “gentlemen’s sport,” stressing that strict accountability is necessary.
