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.
