The BCCI secretary is seen with Asian cricket chief Mohsin Naqvi during the Indian women’s Asia Cup final, prompting questions about the trophy ceremony. NDTV reports that a top BCCI official provides an explanation for the appearance, following a similar controversy from the previous men’s Asia Cup.
According to the outlet, the issue centres on the trophy handover. In the men’s event the year before, India’s team had declined to receive the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi. In the women’s final, the Indian team likewise refuses to take the trophy from him. The reporting focuses on why the BCCI secretary was present despite the team’s decision and what the official says is the reason for his proximity during the ceremony.
Overall, the coverage links both incidents to the Asia Cup trophy moment and the involvement of Mohsin Naqvi, while clarifying that the BCCI leadership’s presence is not presented by the source as contradicting the team’s refusal—rather, it is addressed through an on-record explanation from a senior official.
