The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Mohsin Naqvi once again found himself in the spotlight after the Asia Cup 2025 trophy controversy. In a new video that has gone viral on social media, Naqvi was seen avoiding a reporter’s question about the trophy’s whereabouts during spinner Abrar Ahmed’s wedding reception in Karachi.
Naqvi has been at the centre of the storm ever since he walked away with the Asia Cup 2025 trophy following India’s refusal to collect it from him after the final against Pakistan in Dubai. Reports later claimed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) had even warned the ACC of possible action against Naqvi over the incident.

Naqvi had said that if the Indian team truly wants the trophy, they must personally collect it from him. While the controversy continues even after a week since the Asia Cup final, Naqvi was asked about the trophy by a Pakistani reporter. In the viral clip, Naqvi was seen surrounded by a crowd of people and reporters as he dodged questions about the trophy before eventually getting into his car.

India, led by Suryakumar Yadav, dominated Pakistan throughout the tournament, winning in both the group stage and Super 4. In the final, Pakistan offered some early resistance, but Tilak Varma’s calm and composed 69-run knock guided India to their record ninth Asia Cup title.
The Indian team refused to shake hands with Pakistani players in all their games, with captain Suryakumar Yadav dedicating the wins to the victims of the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian armed forces. This led to a massive controversy, with Pakistan even complaining to the ICC about the misconduct.
