India informs the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) that the Indian women’s team will not attend the trophy presentation for the Women’s Asia Cup 2026 if Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi presents the trophy. The issue centres on who hands over the cup at the ceremony and how the ACC manages the protocol given the involvement of the PCB head.
According to the reports, the BCCI offers a solution to the ACC to resolve the dispute over the presentation. The ACC’s response is reported as part of the process to address India’s position and ensure the ceremony can proceed. The sources describe how cricket boards coordinate through the ACC rather than making the decision public through the teams, with the outcome dependent on the ACC’s determination of an acceptable alternative for the handover.
While both outlets focus on the same core contention—Naqvi’s role in presenting the trophy—they present it through the framing of the attempted solution and the ACC’s reply. They do not indicate an immediate final resolution within the reported accounts.
