India Women decline trophy from Mohsin Naqvi after Asia Cup victory

India Women defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the Women's Asia Cup final on Sunday in Dubai but declined to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council president Mohsin Naqvi. This refusal mirrors the men's team's actions last year after their final win. Following the refusal, former Pakistan batter Mohammad Yousuf criticized India's conduct, emphasizing that national pride should not lead to arrogance. The dispute over the trophy dates back to September 2025, with India citing Naqvi's role as a government minister as the reason for their stance. There has been no resolution to this diplomatic issue, which has left the trophy at the ACC headquarters in Dubai.
