If they really want it, they are welcome to come to the ACC office and collect it from me. “He added: “Let me make it true -Light: I didn’t do anything wrong and I never apologized to BCCI and I wouldn’t do it.”

Asian Cup Trophy to India. - He stressed that if India wanted the trophy, they would be welcome to collect it from the ACC office.

The Board plans to raise the matter at the ICC meeting in November.During the tournament, India and Pakistan faced three times, with India winning all meetings, including the finals. The Indian team maintained a ‘no handle policy’ with Pakistani players, which angered PCB.Tensions between the two neighbors remain high following the attacks on Pahalgam’s terrorism, where 26 Indian tourists were killed by Pakistan-backed terrorists. India then launched ‘Sindoor Operations’ to uncover terrorist infrastructure across the border.
