Asia Cup trophy deadlock with Mohsin Naqvi set to end as BCCI confirms ICC's involvement

The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) has reportedly responded to BCCI’s official letter seeking clarification on the 2025 Asia Cup trophy handover. Mohsin Naqvi, the PCB chairman and also the ACC president, has reverted to the Indian Cricket Board on Tuesday (Oct 21), proposing to host a trophy presentation ceremony in Dubai in the first week of November.
