 Asia Cup Trophy Controversy Continues

The fallout from the Asia Cup Trophy controversy continues. According to reports, the BCCI is demanding the removal of Pakistan Cricket Board President Mohsin Naqvi from the position of ACC President. This comes after Naqvi kept the 2025 Asia Cup trophy for himself and did not hand it over to the Indian team. An ACC meeting was recently held regarding this matter. In the meeting, BCCI Vice President Rajiv Shukla reportedly demanded that the trophy be handed over directly to India. However, Naqvi denied this, saying the issue was not on the official agenda.

What action will the BCCI take?

According to reports from Pakistani news outlet The Opinion, the BCCI is now gathering support from its member boards to introduce a no-confidence motion against Mohsin Naqvi, seeking his removal from office. Sri Lanka is said to be supporting India, while Bangladesh has sided with Pakistan.

The Pahalgam terrorist attack in April killed 26 people. Following this, India launched Operation Sindoor, destroying terrorist hideouts in Pakistan. This significantly increased tensions between the two countries.
