The Asia Cup 2025 trophy row is showing no signs of ending, with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi, continuing to hold the silverware in his office. Naqvi remains adamant about only handing over the trophy to a member of the Indian team, preferably in a ceremony in Dubai. However, the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has continued to reject Naqvi's demands, leading to a deadlock situation. Now, a video has surfaced on social media where some objectionable comments were made against India by a person standing next to Naqvi.

The speech roughly translates to: "When he was standing on the ground and the Indian team was not taking the trophy, he demonstrated patience. He kept standing, kept standing. They (the Indian team) wanted that if he moved aside, they would take it from someone else. But they did not know that our chairman is also the Wajir-e-Dakhla (Interior Minister). He then handled the team like dehshat gardon (terrorists), kept the trophy in the car, and took it away with him. Now, the whole of India is chasing the trophy."
Crucially, Naqvi refused to interject during the man's speech, even as some highly objectionable comments were made. The ACC chief, who is also the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, was also seen smiling at some of the comments.
With the Asia Cup trophy matter still unresolved, a likely resolution is expected during next month's International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting.
