‘We can’t receive it from him’: Why India snubbed Mohsin Naqvi again

NEW DELHI: India’s women’s cricket team’s decision not to receive the Women’s Asia Cup trophy from Asian Cricket Council president Mohsin Naqvi was a show of solidarity with the men’s team, which took the same position after winning the Asia Cup last year, BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia said.“Our men’s team won the Asia Cup a year and a half ago. And our whole situation, since the April 2025 Pahalgam incident, changed after that. So, after that, there was pressure on us from our citizens that we shouldn’t keep any relations with our neighboring country and not play cricket with them. But our government has a policy that we must play against every country in multinational tournaments...” Saikia told IANS hours after India beat Sri Lanka in Sunday's final.“But that doesn’t mean we will follow every condition laid out for us. Our military conflict is still ongoing.
