The Board of Control for Cricket in India and the Pakistan Cricket Board recently had a casual meeting in Dubai that lasted nearly an hour, coinciding with the latest International Cricket Council (ICC) board meeting. A key point of discussion between BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia and PCB's Mohsin Maqvi was the long-standing issue surrounding the trophy for the 2025 Asia Cup. India had won the tournament but declined to accept the trophy from Naqvi, who also serves as the President of the Asian Cricket Council. This led to the ceremony being abruptly halted, and reports suggest that Naqvi ended up locking the trophy away in his private office. Tensions flared as Naqvi was determined to present the trophy himself, but this matter was brought up during their recent discussion, according to Saikia. Here is what Saikia was quoted as saying by Hindustan Times: “Since the meeting was formally not on the ICC agenda, they facilitated an informal meeting between myself representing BCCI and PCB chairperson Mohsin Naqvi. We met for an hour. Both sides are very positive to work out a solution to this stalemate. We are working on various options which will be provided by both sides in the coming days. With a positive attitude, I am confident we will be able to settle sooner than expected," Also Read | Sanju Samson to Join CSK?

However, it remains uncertain whether players from both teams will shake hands before or after their matches in future international events. On the topic of India vs Pakistan, the next highly anticipated encounter between these fierce competitors is set for the upcoming 2026 T20 World Cup. While the Indian team will host all their matches, they will need to travel to Colombo, Sri Lanka, to face Pakistan. For those who might not know, Sri Lanka is co-hosting the tournament with India and will be organizing games in Kandy as well. The recent discussions between BCCI and PCB officials in Dubai suggest that there may be progress in resolving the Asia Cup trophy issue. Both boards appear willing to find a common solution, which could help ease tensions ahead of future India-Pakistan matchups in upcoming tournaments.
