BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has revealed that the ‘ice has been broken’ in the standoff betweeen PCB and ACC chairman Mohsin Naqvi and the Indian cricket board over the Asia Cup trophy row.
Saikia told PTI that the BCCI and Naqvi have resolved to settle the trophy row amicably.
Negotiations with Naqvi took place in the sidelines of the ICC meeting, and both sides will work towards resolving the issue at the earliest, Saikia also told PTI.
The ICC Chief Executives’ Committee met on 5 November in Dubai, which was followed by the ICC Board meeting on 7 November. Although the Asia Cup matter was not on the official agenda, it was discussed on the sidelines of the meeting.
Tensions have been brewing between the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) after India refused to collect the Asia Cup trophy from Naqvi after defeating Pakistan in the final of the tournament. Naqvi, seeing that India will not be collecting the trophy from him, took the trophy away.
This is a developing story. Check back later for more details.
