BCCI rejects trophy presentation after Women's Asia Cup victory
Summary

The BCCI declined to accept the Women's Asia Cup trophy from ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi following India's victory in Dubai. Despite winning all five matches and defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the final, the team did not participate in the trophy ceremony due to Naqvi's presence. This mirrors a similar incident involving the men's team last year. BCCI officials communicated their stance to the ACC ahead of the event, emphasizing their commitment to sportsmanship alongside their concerns about the trophy presentation process.

Like in case of the men's team, the women's team too returned home empty - despite triumphing in the Asia Cup women's championship in style, winning all their five matches, including recording a thumping 72-run win over Sri Lanka in a one-sided final on Sunday.
