The BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has now backed the India women’s national cricket team’s decision. The incident followed the same pattern as last year’s Men’s Asia Cup final, when Suryakumar Yadav and his team also refused to collect the trophy from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman.
Well, after beating Sri Lanka by 72 in the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 final in Dubai, Harmanpreet Kaur and her team refused to take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, but they were ready to receive the silverware from ACC vice-president Khalid Al Zarooni instead.
Devajit Saikia backs India's stand against Mohsin Naqvi
Defending the women’s team, Devajit Saikia said that India will continue playing Pakistan in major international tournaments because that is the policy, but that does not mean they have to accept every situation connected with Pakistan, especially after the Pahalgam attack in April 2025.

The BCCI secretary has further explained, “But our government has a policy that we must play against every country in multinational tournaments. So, we are following that policy and abiding by that; the BCCI sends a squad to play every team. But that doesn’t mean we will play and follow every condition laid out for us. The country with which our relations were already bad and which has deteriorated considerably since April 2025—our operation is still ongoing.”
Addressing the situation where the BCCI secretary was seen speaking with the PCB chairman during the final, Saikia said that meeting Mohsin Naqvi during the match was only a normal courtesy. He was sitting in the Royal Box, and when Naqvi came there with ACC vice-president Khalid Al Zarooni, they met and spoke like other people who visited the box.
He also said that there was no “regret” over the trophy issue. The main focus was for India to win the Women’s Asia Cup final, not on who would present the trophy, and they achieved their main goal.
