Naqvi in Dubai for U19 Asia Cup Final; Trophy Drama Looms for India-Pakistan Clash

  • Mohsin Naqvi, PCB and ACC chief, is attending the U19 Asia Cup final in Dubai between India and Pakistan.
  • His presence revives memories of the senior Asia Cup final where India refused the trophy from him due to political tensions.
  • This creates a potential "optics flashpoint" if India wins and a similar situation arises.
  • Pakistan posted 347/8, with Sameer Minhas scoring a brilliant 172 runs.
  • Minhas, brother of Arafat Minhas, dominated India's bowlers after Pakistan's earlier group-stage defeat.

Why It Matters: Mohsin Naqvi's presence at the U19 Asia Cup final sparks trophy presentation concerns amid India-Pakistan rivalry.
