India women's team refuse Asia Cup cricket trophy from Pakistan minister

Following their victory against Sri Lanka to secure a record eighth Asia Cup title, the India women's cricket team declined to accept the trophy from Pakistan Cricket Board chief Mohsin Naqvi during the presentation ceremony. The team opted to skip the formal handover involving the Pakistani minister after the conclusion of the match.

This decision aligns with a precedent set by the Indian men's cricket team, which adopted a similar stance during a previous tournament. The refusal to receive the award from the Pakistani official reflects an ongoing pattern in the diplomatic and sporting interactions between the two nations.
