After winning the Asia Cup, the Indian women’s cricket team declines to take the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi.
When the Indian women’s cricket team refused to take the championship trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Mohsin Naqvi during the post-match presentation ceremony on Sunday, it caused a stir at the Women’s Asia Cup final.
After defeating the reigning champions Sri Lanka, the Indian players refused to collect the trophy from the ACC president, despite Naqvi being the main guest at the championship match.
The episode is reminiscent of the Indian men’s cricket team scandal from the previous year, when the players declined to accept the trophy from Naqvi during the presentation ceremony.
On the field, however, India put on a commanding display to defeat Sri Lanka by 72 runs and win the Women’s Asia Cup for the eighth time in history.
