Amid the uncertainty over his presence, a 'doubtful' Mohsin Naqvi arrived at the ICC meeting on Friday (November 7). The Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman was reportedly set to skip the meeting due to "domestic political issues." But he arrived at the meeting on the final day. Of course, India raised the Asia Cup trophy issue and the board wants the silverware to be handed to Team India. BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia represented the Indian board in the meeting. Cricbuzz has reported that the discussion was informal in nature. The report adds that a panel could be formed to solve this issue. Naqvi ran away with the Asia Cup trophy after the final. Why ACC chairman ran away with the trophy? Naqvi took away the Asia Cup trophy after India's refusal to take the silverware from him. The presentation ceremony was delayed by an hour due to it. Naqvi and other officials stood on the stage for nearly half an hour. The ceremony started after it was decided that an Emirates Cricket Board official would present the trophy to India. However, Naqvi was hell bent on presenting the trophy to India and the presentation ended abruptly. "Ladies and gentlemen, I have been informed by the Asian Cricket Council that the Indian cricket team will not be collecting their awards tonight. So that does conclude the post-match presentation," presenter Simon Doull said. The Asia Cup trophy is at the ACC office.
