The Asia Cup trophy presentation in 2025 was effectively canceled for India due to political tensions between India and Pakistan. The Indian cricket team refused to accept the trophy because it was to be presented by Mohsin Naqvi, who holds multiple roles as the president of the Asian Cricket Council, chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board, and Pakistan's federal interior minister. India objected to receiving the trophy from a senior Pakistani political figure amidst strained relations, especially following recent conflict and controversies between the two nations. Despite winning the tournament, the Indian team declined to take the trophy from Naqvi, leading to a delayed and disrupted award ceremony. The trophy's whereabouts after the event remain uncertain, and the refusal underscored ongoing diplomatic and political tensions playing out in the sports arena.
