Indian women's team skips Asia Cup trophy ceremony after victory over Sri Lanka

The Indian women's cricket team, led by Harmanpreet Kaur, secured an eighth Women's Asia Cup title by defeating Sri Lanka by 72 runs. Following the win, the team did not attend the trophy presentation, where Asian Cricket Council chairman Mohsin Naqvi was present. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia stated that the decision was influenced by recent tensions and security issues, referring to the 2025 Pahalgam terror attack. Instead of receiving the trophy, the Indian team celebrated informally on the dais. The trophy remains with the Asian Cricket Council.
