BCCI May Escalate Asia Cup Trophy Issue to ICC
India won the Asia Cup cricket tournament, but they haven't officially received the trophy yet.
The trophy is still with the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council, who is also Pakistan's Interior Minister.
He wants to present the trophy himself, but India's cricket board (BCCI) is unhappy about the delay.
The BCCI has asked for the trophy multiple times, but it hasn't been returned.
If they don't get it soon, the BCCI plans to discuss the problem at a big international cricket meeting in November.
They are confident the trophy will come back to India eventually, but they don't know exactly when.
The BCCI is seeking the handover of the Asia Cup trophy, won by India over Pakistan.
The trophy has not been officially presented to the Indian team for over a month due to a dispute.
BCCI Joint Secretary Devajit Saikia expressed unhappiness with the delay and stated the trophy is under ACC/PCB custody.
The BCCI plans to raise the issue at the upcoming ICC quarterly meeting on November 4 if the trophy is not returned soon.
Pakistan's Interior Minister Mohsin Naqvi, who is also ACC and PCB chairman, has offered to present the trophy at a future event.
