The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) on Tuesday registered its protest in the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting about chairman Mohsin Naqvi’s actions at the 2025 Asia Cup final in Dubai. Board members also made sure that Naqvi said congratulations to India for winning the title.
India was represented by BCCI vice-president Rajeev Shukla and former board treasurer Ashish Shelar, who are both members of the ACC board, at the meeting. Together, they demanded that Naqvi immediately submit the Asia Cup trophy to the ACC headquarters in Dubai, while informing the Pakistani side that they are willing to escalate the issue to the International Cricket Council (ICC) level, where a meeting is scheduled for November.
While Shukla is the Executive Board Member for BCCI on the ACC Board, Shelar serves as the BCCI’s Ex-Officio Board Member. It has also been learned that in protest of the ACC chief, Shelar boycotted the meeting midway through.
It has also learned that Naqvi is open to transferring India’s trophy and medals but wants an ‘official function’ to be organized for it first.
