India Women defeated Sri Lanka Women by 72 runs in the final at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Sunday, September 13. Notably, the Women in Blue refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi during the presentation. India celebrated their record-extending eighth Asia Cup title.
“We discussed the matter among ourselves and decided that we would not accept it (trophy) from him. It was our collective decision. He (Naqvi) also did not raise any objection to it,” Shukla said. “We informed our team accordingly, and he presented it to whoever he had to and then left.”
Naqvi, who is also the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman and a member of the Pakistan cabinet, was kept waiting during the trophy presentation. He later handed the runners-up cheque to Sri Lanka before leaving the venue.

“We became Asia Cup champions. Our women have once again made us proud and we will continue to win in the future,” Shukla said. “The team is now heading to Japan and we are fully confident that we will secure a victory there as well.”
