An Indian journalist has made a bold claim that Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi is likely to lose his position in the Asian Cricket Council following his embarrassing action after the conclusion of the Asia Cup 2025 final. In the drama that unfolded at the Dubai cricket stadium on Sunday, September 28, Naqvi walked out of the post-match presentation ceremony with the Asia Cup trophy.
Why did Mohsin Naqvi take away the trophy?
The Men In Blue were seen lying on the ground and scrolling on their phone, while Naqvi was left stranded on the podium during the presentation ceremony. Later, the players avoided taking the individual award and shaking hands with the ACC chief. Outraged by the behaviour of the players, the ACC chief reportedly left the stadium and took the trophy with him.

Naqvi has been in the limelight throughout the tournament for his actions off the field. Suryakumar's side refused to shake hands with the opponents in both the group stage and the Super 4s encounter. This led to PCB chairman Naqvi complaining to the ICC about India and match referee Andy Pycroft's behaviour.
Naqvi didn't stop there as he posted some objectionable videos on X (formerly Twitter), mocking India by referencing Pakistan's claims of bringing down Indian fighter jets during Operation Sindoor, which did not go down well with India.

With Team India failing to gettheir hands on trophy, the players decided to take matters in their own hands. The Indian squad took to social media to have the last laugh. Multiple players including Suryakumar Yadav, Hardik Pandya, Shubman Gill, and Abhishek Sharma, posted victory photos on Instagram with digitally added trophy emojis, turning the moment into a viral trend
