BCCI officials walk out of ACC meeting, say Mohsin Naqvi gave no clarity over Asia Cup trophy

The BCCI representatives Ashish Shelar and Rajeev Shukla walked out of Wednesday’s Asian Cricket Council (ACC) meeting in protest after they failed to get clarity on when India would get the Asia Cup trophy and the players’ medals they won after beating Pakistan in the final on Sunday. Those in the know share that the Indian officials had questioned the ACC president and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi on this issue but he failed to give them a satisfactory reply.

“Shelar informed members that the BCCI secretary Devajit Sakia has already written to ACC about the same but there has been no response. The BCCI wants the trophy and medals to be delivered to ACC’s office in Dubai from where the Indian board will get it collected. However, Shelar didn’t get a positive response for the same. So Shelar and Shukla decided to quit the meeting marking their protest,” a top BCCI official told The Indian Express. He also went on to add that Naqvi, in his opening speech, didn’t extend his congratulations to the Indian officials for winning the title.
