Team India’s no-handshake policy with Pakistani players has been going on since Asia Cup 2025. Almost three months have passed since the Asia Cup ended, but the fire of this controversy is not getting extinguished. Now Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has stoked the spark of no-handshake controversy.

Mohsin Naqvi told the media in Lahore that if Team India does not want to shake hands, then Pakistani players will also not show any interest in doing so.

Mohsin Naqvi said, “Even today our thinking is the same. Today the Prime Minister himself told me twice that we should not let politics come in the way of all this. Our views from the first day have been that cricket and politics should be separate.”

Mohsin Naqvi’s bad words

Mohsin Naqvi further said, “If they (Indian players) do not want to shake hands, then we too have no interest in doing so. Whatever happens, it will be on the same level with India. You will see that we will do the same in future also. It cannot be that they do something and we step back. This will not happen at all.”

The policy of no-handshake in matches between India and Pakistan has been going on for many months. Since Asia Cup 2025, Indian players have avoided shaking hands with Pakistani players. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav did not tie the knot with Pakistan captain Salman Aga in the Asia Cup. After that, even in the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025, the Indian team did not join hands with Pakistani players.

Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has once again been insulted. The final match of Under-19 Asia Cup 2025 was played in Dubai on Sunday, 21 December, in which Pakistan team defeated India by a huge margin of 191 runs. After the match was over, the players of Team India refused to take the medal from Naqvi’s hands. Mohsin Naqvi gave the Under-19 Asia Cup trophy to the Pakistan team with his own hands and then also posed for photographs with the champion team.

Mohsin Naqvi’s insult

Let us tell you that Mohsin Naqvi had reached Dubai during the final match itself to be a part of the presentation ceremony. Naqvi first gave medals to the players of the champion team and then handed over the trophy to Pakistan captain Farhan Yusuf. After this, the Indian players completely ignored Mohsin Naqvi by deciding not to go on the podium. Medals were presented to the Indian team by another official.

The trend of Indian players ignoring Mohsin Naqvi has been going on since the 2025 Men’s Senior Asia Cup. Indian players did not shake hands with Pakistani players in that entire tournament. At the same time, when Team India became the champion by defeating Pakistan in the final, then the Indian team refused to take the Asia Cup trophy from the hands of Mohsin Naqvi. Naqvi still has that trophy.

Pakistan became champion for the first time

This is the first time in the last 36 years that Pakistan has won the Under-19 Asia Cup. Pakistan has been the runner-up of this tournament twice, but in 2025 it has achieved the title of being Asian champion for the first time. In the final, Pakistan, playing first, had scored a huge score of 347 runs, but in reply, Team India was all out for just 156 runs.

Amid the ongoing controversy over the Asia Cup trophy, BCCI is preparing to corner Mohsin Naqvi. According to media reports, BCCI has prepared a list of allegations against Naqvi, which can be put forward in the ICC meeting. Apart from being the current PCB chairman, Naqvi is also the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). BCCI has alleged that Naqvi has violated the operating rules made by ICC.

Quoting Telecom Asia Sport, sources have said that BCCI has prepared a list of allegations against Mohsin Naqvi. BCCI is planning to raise questions on his eligibility to hold sporting posts. Another surprising thing has come to light that BCCI is getting the support of Afghanistan Cricket Board in this.

Political relations between Pakistan and Afghanistan have deteriorated in the recent past, especially after the military strike in which three Afghan cricketers lost their lives. After this incident, the Afghan cricket team refused to play in the tri-series with Pakistan.

According to Telecom Asia Sport, a source said, “India will put pressure on Mohsin Naqvi to leave one of the posts (ACC or PCB Chairman), in this BCCI will get the support of the Afghanistan Board. Although Naqvi will leave any post, the possibility of this happening is less.”

It has also been revealed in the report that Mohsin Naqvi is already preparing to find a solution to the arguments presented by BCCI. Recently it was reported that due to the debate regarding constitutional amendment in Pakistan, Naqvi may not be able to be a part of the ICC meeting on November 7. Sumair Syed can attend the meeting in his place. If Naqvi comes to the meeting, the first question BCCI will raise is on the Asia Cup trophy.

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.

PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is also the head of ACC (Asian Cricket Council), hence he wanted to hand over the trophy to Team India. But he is also the Home Minister of Pakistan and he said many poisonous things against India, that is why Suryakumar Yadav did not want to take the trophy from him. In a petty act, Naqvi took the trophy with him, this was the first time that the trophy was not given to a winning team. Now Mohsin Naqvi is not able to escape the questions related to this, people in his own country are surrounding him and asking questions.

Mohsan Naqvi became a victim of mob lynching in Pakistan, a video of which is going viral on social media. He had gone to attend the reception, during which he was surrounded by people. He was asked what is the future of the Asia Cup trophy? Suryakumar Yadav is saying that he did not refuse to take the trophy. Naqvi could not say anything on these questions.

Let us tell you that on September 28, under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India had defeated Pakistan in the final of Asia Cup 2025, even after this Team India was not given the trophy. While the Indian players were waiting on the ground. Actually Surya did not want to take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, he wanted some other official to hand over the trophy to him. After this Naqvi ran away from the stadium with the trophy.

Where is the Asia Cup trophy now?

According to a report, the Asia Cup trophy is currently with the ECB (Emirates Cricket Board). It has not been decided yet when this trophy will be handed over to Team India.

Asked this question to Mohsin Naqvi

In the viral video, Mohsin Naqvi is being asked what is the future of the Asia Cup tournament? He was asked that Suryakumar Yadav is refusing that he had not refused to take the trophy, so what is your opinion on this? But the PCB Chairman shamelessly remained silent and kept laughing. People surrounded him, then Pakistan Army took him to his car.

BCCI will raise this issue in the ICC meeting. BCCI is also demanding his impeachment. Earlier, Mohsin Naqvi had told BCCI that Suryakumar Yadav can come to their office and take the trophy, on this the board had clearly refused. The board had said that when the trophy was not taken from Naqvi on the ground, then there was no question of him coming to the office to take the trophy.

Pakistan cricketer Abrar Ahmed got married in Karachi, in which PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi also attended. He has been in discussion for the last several days, as he took India’s won Asia Cup 2025 Trophy with him. He could not escape this question even in Abrar’s wedding, a journalist asked him that Suryakumar Yadav had not refused to take the trophy. Another question was asked to Naqvi, what is the future of the Asia Cup now? There was a shameless response from the ACC president.

The final of the Asia Cup 2025 was played between India and Pakistan in Dubai on 28 September. Under the captaincy of Suryakumar Yadav, Team India defeated Pakistan and won their 9th Asia Cup title. Mohsin Naqvi wanted him to give a trophy to the champion team, he is also the head of ACC. But he is also the Home Minister of Pakistan and has talked about the war against India. For this reason, Surya refused to take the trophy at her hands. After this, Naqvi did not hand over the trophy to Team India, he took him with him.

Mohsin Naqvi arrived at Abrar Ahmed’s wedding

Mohsin Naqvi arrived at Abrar Ahmed’s wedding. Many players of Pakistan team also reached in it. While leaving the wedding, a journalist asked him that Suryakumar Yadav has refused that he had not refused to take the trophy. Naqvi laughed shamelessly on this, perhaps he had no answer. Then the journalist asked what is the future of the Asia Cup? Even on this, Naqvi kept laughing, but did not say anything.

The BCCI is taking legal advice regarding this matter. In the ACC meeting too, the BCCI asked Mohsin Naqvi questions about this. On this, Naqvi had said that Suryakumar Yadav can come to his office and take the trophy. On this, the BCCI had refused that when the trophy was not taken in the stadium, there is no question of coming to the office and taking the trophy.

The Indian team defeated Pakistan in the final to win the Asia Cup 2025 title, but PCB president and ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi did not hand over the trophy to Team India but sent it out. Indian fans and legends are listening to them, even the former cricketers of Pakistan did not leave them. Former fast bowler Shoaib Akhtar described Naqvi and his management as ‘Headless Chicken’, while Shahid Afridi advised him to leave the post of PCB President.

Talking to Ary News, Shoaib Akhtar said, “There is a complete management like headless and senseless. Team combinations were not right, captaincy was not accurate and he was not ready to listen to us. I don’t think a captain justifies his place in the middle order, nor as a spinner. Not even fed them. When the management itself feels insecure, it does not allow big players to move forward, and then the work could not be done. “

What did Shahid Afridi say about Mohsin Naqvi?

Former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi advised Mohsin Naqvi to focus on any one of cricket and politics. Speaking to Telecom Asia Sport, he said, “PCB is a completely interior ministry, because of this it should be kept separate. Pakistan needs time to run cricket and he cannot completely trust the advisors.”

He further said, “These advisors are not taking him anywhere, he himself believes that he does not know much about cricket. He should appoint good and capable advisors who understand the game. I request my Mohsin Naqvi that both posts are important and big work, which needs both time and attention.”

Why Team India did not take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi

Mohsin Naqvi is the PCB president and ACC chief and is also the Home Minister of Pakistan. He has spewed poison against India many times. Team India did not want to take the trophy in the hands of the war against India. Indian players waited for a long time, but Mohsin Naqvi sent out of India’s winning trophy stadium.

The first time a winning team was not handed over the trophy, but an officer took him with him by deception. This was done by Pakistan Home Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the President of PCB and the ACC (Asian Cricket Council) chief. In fact, due to his flashy statement against India, Team India did not want to take the trophy from his hand, after which Naqvi took the trophy with him. Now BCCI is taking legal advice on this matter.

Top sources of BCCI to ABP told that BCCI is taking legal advice regarding the Asia Cup Trophy. Earlier, Mohsin Naqvi had said that the trophy is with him and the captain of Team India can come and take it. While the BCCI had refused it clearly.

According to the report, the Asia Cup Trophy did not reach the ACC office till Wednesday, but it was kept in his hotel with Mohsin Naqvi. It was to reach the ACC office. Let me tell you that Mohsin Naqvi wanted to give a trophy to Mohsin Naqvi, the winner of Asia Cup 2025, but Suryakumar Yadav and team refused. After this dispute, in the press conference, Suryakumar Yadav made it clear that it was his team’s decision to take the instructions from Naqvi to take the trophy.

Trophy issue raised in ACC meeting

The issue of the trophy arose in the ACC meeting held on September 30 after the Asia Cup final. According to the report, Mohsin Naqvi refused to give the trophy to BCCI and said that captain Suryakumar Yadav can come to his office and take the trophy. On this, the BCCI refused and questioned that when you were on the ground, they did not take the trophy, so what do you think now?

Now the BCCI is taking legal advice in this case how action can be taken on Mohsin Naqvi and how to bring the trophy as soon as possible.

Controversy over the Asia Cup Trophy is increasing. In the recent meeting, BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla asked strict questions to ACC Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. After that it was claimed in media reports that Naqvi has apologized during this meeting. It was also claimed that the Asia Cup Trophy will be sent to India very soon or will receive a trophy from India. But Naqvi has rejected all these rumors in her recent tweet.

Mohsin Naqvi’s latest statement

Mohsin Naqvi wrote in her recent social media post, “Indian media is based on lies, not the facts. I want to clear one thing. I have not done anything wrong nor have I apologized to BCCI nor will she ever apologize. These false rumors are just propaganda, which aims to mislead my own people only.”

He further wrote in his post, “Unfortunately India has been continuously penetrating politics in cricket, hurting the spirit of the game. As the President of ACC, I was ready to give the trophy on the same day and is still ready to give. If they want to take the trophy, they are very welcome to come to the ACC office and take the trophy.”

Earlier, it was told that there was a fierce debate on the trophy issue in the Asian Cricket Council meeting. According to sources, Naqvi accused the Indian players of insulting them after the final match. In the meeting, India’s representative Rajiv Shukla had made it clear that the Asia Cup Trophy is the property of ACC, no one has personal rights on it.
