ICC meet breaks the ice as BCCI and Mohsin Naqvi vow to resolve Asia Cup trophy row

New Delhi: The International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Dubai on Friday has been successful in breaking the ice between India and Pakistan with regards to the Asia Cup trophy row. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has confirmed to news agency PTI that the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi have resolved to settle the Asia Cup trophy row amicably.

Saikia further said that the meeting was successful in breaking the ice between the two involved parties and now various options would be worked out to resolve the issue. The BCCI secretary also admitted that the there were some fruitful talks and good negotiations held with Naqvi on the sidelines of the ICC meeting.

Assuring that both the sides will work out out something to solve the issue at the earliest, it seems that Team India would be receiving the winner's trophy very soon.

India thrashed Pakistan in the final of the Asia Cup 2025 to lift the title but since they refused to collect it from PCB chief Naqvi, who also heads the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), Naqvi kept the trophy in his possession at the ACC headquarters in Dubai.

'I was a part of both the informal and formal meeting of the ICC. PCB chairperson Mohsin Naqvi was also present. During the course of a formal meeting, it was not on agenda but ICC facilitated a meeting between myself and the PCB chief separately in the presence of a senior ICC office-bearer and another senior official,' Saikia told PTI on Saturday.

'It was really good to start the process of negotiation. Both sides cordially participated in the meeting which took place on the sidelines of the ICC board meet,' he added, assuring that a solution will be worked out soon.
