Naqvi Hands U19 Asia Cup to Pakistan, Celebrates Amidst India's Absence

• ACC Chairman Mohsin Naqvi presented the U19 Asia Cup trophy to Pakistan and celebrated with them.
• Runners-up India did not take the stage, collecting medals from an ICC official near the podium.
• This follows a similar incident in the senior Asia Cup where India reportedly declined the trophy from Naqvi due to geopolitical tensions.
• Pakistan comprehensively defeated India by 191 runs in the U19 final, scoring 347/8 with Sameer Minhas' 172.
• India was bowled out for 156 by Pakistan's pace trio, securing Pakistan's second U19 Asia Cup title.

Why It Matters: Mohsin Naqvi's trophy presentation to Pakistan and India's absence reignite geopolitical cricket tensions.
