The Asia Cup trophy dispute may drag on for a long time. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) was going to raise this issue in the ICC meeting. Now there is news that due to ongoing political issues in Pakistan, Mohsin Naqvi may miss the ICC meeting. The four-day long meeting started on Tuesday.

Mohsin Naqvi is also the chairman of Asian Cricket Council. He may have to face sharp questions from BCCI in the ICC meeting. But according to the latest update, he will not come to the meeting. Let us remind you that after winning the final on September 28, the Indian team had refused to take the trophy from Naqvi’s hands.

According to a report published in India Today, a PCB source did not say due to which domestic political issues Mohsin Naqvi would not attend the meeting. Naqvi is the Home Minister of Pakistan and has not participated in a single ICC meeting after Jai Shah became ICC Chairman.

Sumair Syed can attend the ICC meeting in place of Naqvi. It was also told in the report that if Naqvi is unable to reach Dubai, then he can be present in the board meeting on 7th November i.e. the last day of the meeting. The Indian team became the champion on September 28, but the trophy is still locked in the office of the Asian Cricket Council in Dubai.

Mohsin Naqvi is not only the chairman of Asian Cricket Council but also the chairman of PCB. It is clear from the beginning that if Team India wants to take the trophy, then he will hand over the trophy to the Indian players with his own hands. But Team India had flatly refused to take the trophy from his hands on the day of the final itself. Due to this, the post match presentation also started late by 90 minutes.

More than a month has passed since the Indian team won the Asia Cup. But ACC and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is still sitting like a trophy. BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia had recently warned Naqvi that everything would be good if Team India gets the trophy within 2 days, otherwise he would raise this issue in the ICC meeting to be held on November 4. Since there has been no response from Naqvi, it seems he has ignored BCCI’s warning.

BCCI had warned

According to news agency PTI, BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia had said, “Yes, we are disappointed that the Indian team has not been able to get the trophy even after a month of winning the tournament. We have moved forward on this matter, about 10 days ago we had written a letter to the ACC Chairman, but he is not ready to go back on his word. The trophy is still with him, but we hope that he will give the trophy in a day or two.” Saikia further said that if he does not get the trophy, he will raise this matter in the ICC meeting.

Final decision will come tomorrow!

ICC meeting is going to be held in Dubai tomorrow. BCCI representative can raise the issue of Asia Cup trophy in this meeting. It is possible that ICC may mediate on this decision and give a final decision tomorrow itself. Earlier, in the ACC meeting on September 30, Rajiv Shukla had scolded Mohsin Naqvi. BCCI Vice President Rajeev Shukla had said that Mohsin Naqvi does not have personal rights on the Asia Cup trophy, its rightful owner is Team India, hence the trophy should be given as soon as possible. Even after that Naqvi has not handed over the trophy to Team India.

According to media reports, selling of mobile gaming rights and the format of Under-19 World Cup can be the two main topics of discussion in the ICC meeting. Let us tell you that this meeting will be held from 4th to 7th November. Along with this, the issue of increasing the reach of cricket can also be raised in the meeting. It is also possible to discuss the issue of getting cricket a place in the South American and Pan American Games.
