New Delhi. The final match of Asia Cup 2025 between India and Pakistan is going to be held this evening. Before the match, it is expected to have a big controversy. Mohsin Naqvi, chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), who is also the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), arrived in Dubai to join the final. Given the presence of Naqvi in Dubai, it is certain that he will monitor the post-match presentation. The final will also give a trophy to the winning team. His presence at Dubai International Stadium will be the attention of the Indian team.
PTI quoted a tournament internal source as saying, “According to the information so far, he will come this evening and obviously he will give the winner’s trophy as ACC chairman. Let’s see what the BCCI decides.”
There were reports that the team led by Suryakumar could ignore the presentation ceremony as they are not keen to share the stage with Naqvi. Naqvi has repeatedly failed to fulfill his responsibility as the ACC chief during the Asia Cup 2025. He has repeatedly prioritized Pakistan’s interests, has been clearly biased. Recently, Naqvi posted a Cristiano Ronaldo video without reference, in which he made fun of India, referring to Pakistan’s claim to demolish Indian fighter jets.
