BCCI Stands Firm on Trophy Handover Issue
- ACC Chairman Mohsin Naqvi is delaying the handover of the Asia Cup trophy. Meanwhile, the Board of Control for Cricket in India has made its position clear. BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia criticized Naqvi's approach and said that India will not accept the trophy directly from his hands.
- Saikia said that the BCCI has repeatedly written to the ACC over this issue, but there has been no proper response. He said that the Asia Cup trophy will reach India soon and it is hoped that before the ICC General Assembly meeting in Dubai on November 4.
- Saikia said, "The Asia Cup will definitely reach India. Team India won the cup, and it belongs here. We have informed the ACC several times, but we are still waiting for action. We cannot take the trophy from Mr. Naqvi's hands. Our stand is firm. We never agreed to the ACC Chairman, who is also a Pakistani minister, presenting the trophy, and we will not accept it now."
