BCCI Expects Missing Asia Cup Trophies Eventually
India’s men’s and women’s cricket teams won their Asia Cup tournaments.
However, they did not take the trophies from Asian Cricket Council president Mohsin Naqvi.
The trophies are therefore not currently at the BCCI office.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said both trophies should eventually arrive in Mumbai.
He did not say when this will happen.
The men’s team beat Pakistan in its final.
The women’s team beat Sri Lanka in its final.
Saikia also hopes the women’s team will win gold at the Asian Games after beating Japan.
BCCI Secretary Devajit Saikia said both missing Asia Cup trophies will eventually reach the board’s Mumbai headquarters.
Saikia declined to provide a timeline for the trophies’ arrival at the BCCI office in Wankhede Stadium.
The Indian men’s team defeated Pakistan in last year’s Asia Cup T20 final in Dubai.
The Indian women’s team recently defeated Sri Lanka to win its Asia Cup title.
Saikia expressed confidence that India’s women will win Asian Games gold after defeating Japan in the quarterfinal.
