Mohsin Naqvi was not in attendance for the trophy presentation of the U19 Asia Cup 2026 in Muscat on Saturday, November 14.
India secured its ninth U19 Asia Cup title after a thrilling one-wicket victory over Pakistan in the final.
Cameos from Manal Chauhan and Mohit Ulva helped the Boys in Blue complete its highest chase in Youth ODIs with a boundary from the final delivery of the match.
The U19 Asia Cup is organised by the Asian Cricket Council, and questions soon arose about who would present the trophy to the victorious Indian team.
The ACC President is Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board and also the country’s Interior Minister.
The Indian men’s and women’s cricket teams have refused to take their respective Asia Cup trophies from him as a mark of protest, while expressing their support to the Indian defence forces involved in ‘Operation Sindoor’, after innocent Indian civilians were killed in the Pahalgam terror attack last year.
Naqvi was also not present to hand over the gold medals at the men’s and women’s cricket events at the Asian Games.
