The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has officially written to the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) requesting that they present the Asia Cup trophy in light of India defeating Pakistan last month. The letter was written to ACC President Mohsin Naqvi. Based on reports, the ACC replied on Tuesday and proposed a trophy presentation ceremony in Dubai for the first week of November. "If you want the trophy, we can have a ceremony where you can accept it," the ACC had reportedly told the BCCI. Trophy Stays at ACC Headquarters The Asia Cup trophy has remained at the ACC headquarters after the Indian team, headed by Suryakumar Yadav, declined to take it from Naqvi, who is also the interior minister of Pakistan, after their victory in Dubai. This was an unprecedented move that followed growing tension between the two teams throughout the first two matches of the competition. The Indian squad had also refused to extend handshakes to Pakistan players as a sign of respect for the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack, further tension in relations on the field.

It is reported that the Indian board turned down ACC's proposal to pick up the trophy from their offices in Dubai, opting to have it addressed at the next ICC meeting. An ACC source said: "The BCCI secretary, BCCI's ACC representative Rajeev Shukla and representatives of other member boards, including Sri Lanka Cricket and Afghanistan, had written to the ACC president last week over handing the trophy to India." The source added: "But his response was that someone from BCCI should come to Dubai and take the trophy from him. So that matter has still not moved. BCCI has made its stance clear that it won't be receiving the trophy from him. So the matter will most likely be decided in the ICC meeting."

The incident is a rare and intense moment of cricket diplomacy that points to continued sensitivities between India and Pakistan on and off the cricket field.
