PCB Chief Naqvi Taunts BCCI Over Asia Cup Trophy: 'Wherever it is, it's safe'

  • PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi made a sly dig at BCCI regarding the Asia Cup trophy's whereabouts, stating, "Wherever it is, it’s safe."
  • India won the Asia Cup undefeated in September but refused the trophy from Naqvi due to protest against the Pahalgam terror attack and solidarity with Operation Sindoor.
  • Naqvi, also Pakistan's Interior Minister, initially took the trophy to his hotel, then locked it at ACC HQ, and later moved it to an undisclosed location in Abu Dhabi.
  • BCCI escalated the matter to the ICC, but Naqvi insists he must personally present the trophy to India.
  • PCB also plans to file an ICC complaint against India's U-19 team for "unsportsmanlike behaviour" and refusing to shake hands with Pakistani counterparts.

Why It Matters: PCB chief Mohsin Naqvi continues to withhold the Asia Cup trophy from India amidst ongoing cricketing tensions.
