BCCI told his stand, why not take the trophy from Naqvi
The statement of BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia has now come out on why the Indian team did not take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi. Naqvi said- India is in a battle of war with a country and a leader of the same country had to hand over the trophy … So we refused to take that trophy.
Keep in mind that Naqvi is the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman and the President of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). At the same time, he is also a minister in the Government of Pakistan.
Trophy taken to Naqvi in ​​hotel room
Saikia further said- This does not mean that the person should take our trophy and medal, which our team should get to their hotel room. This is absolutely unacceptable, and we hope that they will understand so much that they send that trophy to India as soon as possible. This will restore some level of morality at least. We are going to register a strong protest against the behavior of that person at the award distribution ceremony of today (Asia Cup Final).
