The Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board and President of the Asian Cricket Council, Mohsin Naqvi, has addressed ongoing speculation regarding the whereabouts of the Asia Cup 2025 trophy, offering a brief but clear response to calm circulating rumors.
Speaking to media representatives in Karachi, Mohsin Naqvi was asked about reports questioning where the Asia Cup 2025 trophy is currently located. Responding with a smile, he said that wherever the trophy is, it remains safe. His remark was seen as an attempt to downplay the controversy and reassure stakeholders amid growing speculation on social media and certain media platforms.
According to sources, the issue of the Asia Cup trophy did not come up during the recent meetings of the International Cricket Council. Insiders familiar with the proceedings stated that the matter was neither raised nor discussed during the ICC sessions, suggesting that the concerns being circulated publicly lack an official basis.
Sources further confirmed that the Board of Control for Cricket in India also did not raise any questions or present any position regarding the Asia Cup 2025 trophy during the meetings. The absence of discussion from such a key stakeholder has reinforced the view that the issue does not exist at an official or administrative level.
It has also been clarified that the Asia Cup 2025 trophy was not included in the formal agenda of the ICC board meetings. As a result, officials have described the ongoing reports and assumptions about the trophy as speculative in nature rather than based on verified information or official correspondence.
Cricket administrators believe that unnecessary focus on the trophy issue has diverted attention from more substantive planning matters related to upcoming international events. They maintain that standard protocols regarding tournament assets remain in place and that there is no cause for concern.
With Mohsin Naqvi’s statement and confirmation from multiple sources, officials hope the speculation surrounding the Asia Cup 2025 trophy will now subside. The focus, they say, should remain on preparations for future tournaments and the continued development of cricket across the region.
