Yet the Indian team, in its familiar arrogance, refused to receive the trophy from the hands of the ACC president. When the Indian team publicly snubbed the ACC president, it was not merely the official who was insulted, it was the entire regional framework of Asian cricket that was undermined. The ACC and ICC must not treat this incident lightly. By refusing to acknowledge the president of the ACC, India effectively belittled the very institution responsible for organizing the tournament. If India can walk away unscathed after insulting the ACC president in front of the world, then tomorrow any team can tear up the protocols of cricket with impunity.
