New Delhi. Indian Cricket Board Secretary Devjit Saikia has brought out the low act of Pakistan Cricket Board. He has criticized the PCB Chief as he did not allow India to celebrate with the Asia Cup Trophy. After India’s 5 -wicket victory in Dubai on Sunday, Saikia said that Naqvi’s taking Asia Cup to her hotel room was against the spirit of the game.
Why did India boycott Mohsin Naqvi?
Saikia criticized the PCB chief and the President of the Asian Cricket Council and condemned the behavior against his sportsmanship. He revealed that the BCCI had already decided that he would not take the trophy from the ACC chief who is also the internal minister of Pakistan. Saikia said, “We have decided that we will not accept the Trophy of Asia Cup 2025 from the ACC President, which is one of the senior leaders of Pakistan. It was a thoughtful decision taken.”
India had told the ACC that they would be happy to receive the trophy from Khalid Al Jaruni, Vice President of Emirates Board. However, Mohsin Naqvi rejected this request, who himself wanted to give a medal to the Indian team.
Nakvi ran into his hotel room with a trophy
After becoming the champion of the Indian team, the trophy refused to take PCB Chief Mohsin Naqvi. After this, he left the stage and directed the ACC team to take the medal and the winners’ trophy. Saikia condemned Naqvi’s act and made fun of her in the interview after the match.
He said, “This does not give him the right to take the trophy and medals with him. It is very unfortunate and against the spirit of sports. We hope that the trophy and medals will be returned to India as soon as possible. An ICC conference is set in this November in Dubai, and in that conference, we will register a very serious and strong protest against the actions of ACC president.”
Saikia appealed for “good understanding” and criticized the decision to present the trophy to a Pakistani leader. “India is in a struggle with the country, and we expected that we will receive a trophy from a leader who represents them. We cannot accept a trophy from a person who is currently in a dispute with our country. It was our stand. But it does not mean that he will go to our hotel room with Sajjan Trophy and Medal. Will register a strong protest against behavior, ”he concluded the matter.
The Indian side is expecting the ICC to file a strict complaint, which has been a standard of the Asia Cup. In this tournament, players from both sides were warned by the ICC that their work and gestures can be considered against the sportsmanship in the cricket field.
