Mohsin Naqvi and PM Modi (PTI)India press conference: Trophy controversy, message from PM, drama from Naqvi, SKY's Army gestureMohsin Naqvi tweetIndia’s thrilling five-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 final should have been a night of celebration for the champions. Officials from the ACC attempted to mediate, suggesting Emirates Cricket Board vice-chairman Khalid Al Zarooni present the awards instead, but Naqvi blocked the move. Dragging war into sport only exposes desperation and disgraces the very spirit of the game.”Cricket analysts and fans condemned Naqvi for politicising sport and disrespecting the champions. The incident came after India’s team had already signalled their disapproval by avoiding handshakes with Pakistani players throughout the tournament and skipping the customary pre-toss photoshoot. Naqvi’s attempts to escalate tensions continued off the field, including demanding that Suryakumar Yadav be charged by the ICC for standing in solidarity with the Indian Army after the Pahalgam terror attack .
