Fans Chant 'Trophy Chor' at Mohsin Naqvi After Women's Asia Cup Victory

During the presentation ceremony at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium, fans chanted 'Trophy chor' at Mohsin Naqvi following India's 72-run victory over Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup final. This win marked India's eighth title in the tournament.

Naqvi, who is the president of the Asian Cricket Council and chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, was present to award the trophy. However, the Indian team chose not to accept the trophy from him, leading to the chants from the crowd as he exited the stage.

This incident echoed a previous controversy from the men's Asia Cup final in 2025, where Indian players faced delays in receiving their trophy after defeating Pakistan. The Indian women's team’s refusal to accept the trophy was explained by BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia, who cited ongoing military conflicts and public sentiment against engaging with Pakistan.
