India women's team refuses to take Asia Cup trophy from Mohsin Naqvi

🏏 India Women's Asia Cup win marred by trophy refusal 🏏
The Indian women's team pulled off a dominant 72-run win over Sri Lanka in the Women's Asia Cup final in Dubai, Sunday—clinching their record-extending 8th title! Harmanpreet Kaur & co celebrated big, but here's the twist... 🤔
During the presentation ceremony, the team refused to accept the trophy from ACC president & Pakistan cricket chief Mohsin Naqvi. Sri Lanka were the runners-up, receiving their cheque, medals & mementoes, and the ceremony wrapped up with them.
This isn't the first time Naqvi's been caught in such controversy. Just a year ago, during the Men's Asia Cup 2025 final, chaos erupted after India beat Pakistan—players waited over an hour for their trophy & medals. 🙄
Meanwhile, BCCI VP Rajeev Shukla & secretary Devajit Saikia were seated among dignitaries as India sealed the title.
A memorable victory on the field, but the off-field moment leaves plenty to discuss. 💬
