Pakistan’s Mohsin Naqvi Draws Criticism With Controversial Video Mocking India Over Asia Cup Trophy

Mohsin Naqvi Sparks Controversy Over Asia Cup Trophy Video

The Asia Cup 2025 trophy dispute continues, with ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi keeping the silverware in his office. He insists on handing over the trophy only to an Indian team member, preferably during a ceremony in Dubai. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has repeatedly rejected his demands, creating a tense deadlock between the two cricket boards. Social media recently surfaced a video showing objectionable comments against India while Naqvi stood silently beside the speaker.

Controversial Remarks Made Against India by Mohsin Naqvi’s Associate

In the video, a man standing next to Naqvi made provocative comments, claiming he handled the Indian team like “terrorists” and took the trophy away. The speech suggested that the Indian team tried to retrieve the trophy from someone else, but Naqvi’s authority prevented them from doing so. Despite the offensive remarks, Naqvi did not intervene and was reportedly seen smiling at certain parts of the commentary. His silence and reaction have intensified criticism from cricket fans and analysts online.

Deadlock Between ACC and BCCI

The dispute shows no signs of immediate resolution, with both boards holding firm on their positions regarding the trophy handover. The ACC, under Naqvi, insists on following strict ceremonial protocols, while the BCCI refuses to comply with his conditions. The ongoing tension has drawn significant media attention and social media debates, further complicating relations between the two cricket boards.

Possible ICC Intervention Expected

Observers expect that the Asia Cup trophy matter may finally see resolution during next month’s International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting. Officials from both the ACC and BCCI are likely to discuss a formal handover process to avoid further controversy. Until then, Naqvi’s handling of the trophy and the viral video continue to dominate headlines in the cricketing world.
