Women's T20 Asia Cup 2026The same scenario witnessed 350 days earlier played out once again in Dubai. Mohsin Naqvi who had previously endured humiliation was once again at the center of the story. The only difference was that the Indian women's team had taken the place of the men's team, and the contest was the Women's Asia Cup rather than the Men's Asia Cup.
On September 13, 2026, Mohsin Naqvi was subjected to the same indignity he had faced 350 days prior—on September 28, 2025. In fact, this time, chants of "trophy thief" were even heard echoing through the stadium.
Indian Women's Team Snubs Mohsin Naqvi
The Indian women's cricket team defeated Sri Lanka by 72 runs in the Women's Asia Cup final held on September 13, 2026. A controversy erupted following this major victory when the Indian team refused to accept the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi.
Serving as both the PCB Chairman and the ACC Chief, Mohsin Naqvi was initially seen waiting on stage to present the trophy to the Indian team. After he had waited for 15 to 20 minutes, the Indian women's team decided against accepting the trophy.
