The Pakistan team, led by captain Salman Agha, then arrived late for the ceremony. India’s Twenty20 skipper Suryakumar Yadav claimed that his team was denied the chance to lift the 2025 Asia Cup trophy. Before the ceremony began, an official also removed the Asia Cup trophy from the presentation podium. “Ladies and gentlemen, I have been informed by the ACC that the Indian cricket team will not be collecting their awards tonight. India’s cricketers refused to shake hands with Pakistan after their first and second games at the Asia Cup.
