India clinched the 2025 Asia Cup title by defeating Pakistan in a dramatic final, but the post-match ceremony erupted into controversy. The Indian team refused to accept the trophy or medals from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Mohsin Naqvi—also Pakistan’s interior minister—citing his political role. As tensions escalated, Naqvi reportedly removed the trophy from the dais and secured it in his hotel room. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has threatened to lodge a formal protest with the ICC.
