Indian Olympic body requests barring of Pakistani officials from Asian Games medal ceremonies

As the 2026 Asian Games approach, the Indian Olympic Association formally requested the Asian Games organizers exclude Pakistani officials from cricket medal ceremonies. This request follows a contentious trophy presentation involving Mohsin Naqvi at the Women's Asia Cup, where Indian players declined to collect their medal. Both Indian men's and women's cricket teams are in contention for gold at the Asian Games, making this issue particularly urgent. The decision regarding Naqvi's potential presence now rests with the organizing committee.
