BCCI-PCB Icebreaker: Dubai Talks To End Asia Cup Trophy Standoff After Weeks Of Tension

This special report focuses on the ongoing tussle between the BCCI and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) over the Asia Cup trophy, with key figures being BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia and PCB Chairperson Mohsin Naqvi. According to Saikia, after a meeting facilitated by the ICC in Dubai, 'We had a cordial discussion on the issue, both sides understood that this has to be sorted out, both sides are positive to sort it out at the earliest possible time.' The dispute began after India won the Asia Cup, and the team reportedly refused to accept the trophy from Naqvi, who is also Pakistan's Interior Minister. The trophy has since been held at the ICC headquarters, with Naqvi insisting he must be the one to present it. Following the informal talks, both cricket boards are now exploring options to reach an amicable solution.
