Previously, it was reported that Mohsin Naqvi would not be present in the final. However, he came for the final and was also caught watching the match with the BCCI and other officials at the Dubai International Stadium in Dubai. Later, he also went to the ground for the post-match presentation, and only then did the controversy arise as the India women’s team went back without receiving the trophy.
"It’s not as if we wouldn’t meet anyone," Saikia told IANS (as quoted by News18) when asked about the friendly interaction, without naming Naqvi. "I was sitting outside in the Royal Box seats right from the toss until the end of the game. Having sat there, I remained in that same place throughout the match."
"Ambition was not to focus on who would give the trophy": Devajit Saikia speaks about trophy controversy
While speaking on giving out the trophy, Devajit Saikia mentioned that they did not discuss on the matter, as it was a simple tradition of meet and greet. He also mentioned that BCCI’s main focus was that the India Women’s National Cricket Team should win the trophy, and they achieved it by beating Sri Lanka.
Why did India refuse to take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi?
The incident dates back to Asia Cup 2025, when Suryakumar Yadav’s side decided not to receive the trophy from Naqvi after winning the final against Pakistan, because of the diplomatic tensions between the two nations. The decision was made, showcasing solidarity with the Indian citizens who were killed during the Pahalgam terror attack.
Customary handshakes also stopped between the two nations, and this was followed in age-group cricket as well, with U-19 and then Women’s Cricket, and also during the major ICC events. Thus, the women’s team also refused to receive the trophy from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi.
