'Are they living in the past?': Ex-India cricketer slams Mohsin Naqvi after Asia Cup trophy snub

0
India's Women's Asia Cup triumph in Dubai was overshadowed by another awkward trophy presentation involving Asian Cricket Council president Mohsin Naqvi, as the champions once again declined to collect the silverware from the Pakistan Cricket Board chief.

India defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the final on Sunday to claim the title, but the post-match ceremony was held up amid the standoff. Naqvi, who is also Pakistan's Interior Minister, remained at the venue, but India's players were unwilling to receive the trophy from him.

The episode was strikingly similar to last year's men's Asia Cup final, when India's victorious team had also refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi. The repeat has once again put the spotlight on his dual role as a senior cricket administrator and a prominent figure in Pakistan's government.
