Mohsin Naqvi, the ACC Chairman, has denied all reports claimed by the Indian media of him having apologised to the BCCI and handed over the Asia Cup trophy to the ECB after the BCCI plotted to start impeachment proceedings against him.
Ever since the India vs Pakistan Asia Cup final ended in favour of the Indians, there have been several controversies. First, the two teams deprived them of several customary rituals of the game, and then the most awkward situation was surrounding Suryakumar Yadav’s denial of taking the trophy from the ACC chief.
Mohsin Naqvi rubbishes reports claiming that he apologised to the BCCI
Refusing the claims, Mohsin Naqvi took to his X account and rubbished all the reports of him apologising to the BCCI or surrendering the trophy to the UAE board. He instead accused India of bringing politics into the game of cricket and damaging its spirit.
Your daily dose of cricket!
“Indian media thrives on lies, not facts. Let me make it absolutely clear: I have done nothing wrong, and I have never apologized to the BCCI nor will I ever do so. This fabricated nonsense is nothing but cheap propaganda, aimed only at misleading their own people. Unfortunately, India continues to drag politics into cricket, damaging the very spirit of the game. As ACC President, I was ready to hand over the trophy that very day, and I am still ready now. If they truly want it, they are welcome to come to the ACC office and collect it from me,” Naqvi posted on X.
India to initiate impeachment of ACC Chief Mohsin Naqvi
After the controversial Trophy row in the Asia Cup post-match presentation, after India won the final of the competition, Mohsin Naqvi had to face severe criticism from boards as well as people all over the world.
The BCCI attempted to solve it in the ACC meet; however, it has been snubbed from any clarification by the ACC chief. After this, the BCCI vowed to escalate this matter to the ICC for the breach of conduct.
The most recent development suggests that the BCCI intended to push for the impeachment of Mohsin Naqvi, citing his breach of sporting protocols as well as questioning his impartiality.

Rohit Juglan had reported that Mohsin Naqvi he left for Pakistan, and the Trophy is at the ACC Headquarters. He accepted one thing: that India is doing things unilaterally, from not shaking hands to not receiving the trophy.
He also confirmed that 2 officials from the Associate countries will play a crucial role in solving the controversy after it was not solved when the 5 Test-playing member nations of the ACC met on the 30th of September.
