Asia Cup Trophy War: ICC Steps In, BCCI And PCB Hold Talks In Dubai To End Asia Cup Trophy Standoff

This special report focuses on the ongoing dispute between the BCCI and the PCB over the 2025 Asia Cup trophy, following a crucial meeting in Dubai between BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia and PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi. Following the discussion, Saikia stated, ‘Both sides cordially participated in the meeting which took place on the sidelines of the ICC board meet’. India won the T20 tournament on September 28 but the team refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi, who is also the Asian Cricket Council President and Pakistan's Interior Minister. The trophy has since remained at the ACC headquarters in Dubai. The ICC has now facilitated talks and formed a committee to help find an amicable resolution to the stalemate between the two powerful cricket boards.
