**Asia Cup Trophy Controversy Deepens as BCCI Walks Out of ACC Meeting; No Resolution in Sight**
*Dubai, October 1, 2025* – The drama surrounding the Asia Cup 2025 trophy has escalated after the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) representatives staged a dramatic walkout during an Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting, protesting the lack of clarity over the trophy’s status.
The controversy began after Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi, who also serves as the ACC chief, took the Asia Cup trophy off the field following India’s victory over Pakistan in the final on Sunday. The Indian team had reportedly refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi’s hands, leading to an awkward standoff.
### **”Trophy Lekar Bhāg Gaye Woh” – Suryakumar Yadav’s Frustration**
Indian vice-captain Suryakumar Yadav didn’t hold back his frustration, saying, *“We didn’t close the door and sit inside the dressing room. We didn’t make anyone wait for the presentation ceremony. Trophy leke bhaag gaye woh (They took the trophy and ran away).”*
The incident sparked outrage, with the BCCI demanding an explanation from the ACC. However, the matter remains unresolved after the latest virtual meeting ended in chaos.
### **BCCI vs PCB: Tense Confrontation in ACC Meeting**
According to reports, BCCI officials Ashish Shelar and Rajeev Shukla confronted Naqvi during the meeting, demanding a resolution. The Indian board insisted that the trophy and medals be sent to the ACC office in Dubai, from where the BCCI could collect them. However, Naqvi allegedly provided no clear response, prompting the BCCI representatives to exit the meeting in protest.
A senior BCCI official revealed, *“Shelar informed members that the BCCI secretary had already written to the ACC, but there was no response. When no assurance was given, they had no choice but to walk out.”*
Adding fuel to the fire, Naqvi reportedly congratulated Nepal for their recent win over West Indies and acknowledged Mongolia’s progress but conspicuously avoided mentioning India’s Asia Cup triumph.
### **ACC Deadlock: Offline Meeting to Decide Fate of Trophy**
With tensions rising, the ACC has now extended its Annual General Meeting (AGM), with representatives from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, Bangladesh, and Afghanistan set to meet in person to break the deadlock. The BCCI has already hinted at taking the matter to the International Cricket Council (ICC) if no resolution is reached within the ACC.
### **What’s Next?**
Cricket fans are left wondering: Will the trophy ever reach Indian hands? Or will this controversy further strain relations between the two cricketing giants?
One thing is certain—the Asia Cup 2025 will be remembered not just for thrilling cricket, but for the unprecedented drama off the field.
