BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has condemned the controversial post-match incident at the Asia Cup 2025 final, calling it unfortunate. He confirmed that a formal protest will be lodged at the ICC conference in Dubai in November this year.

The incident took place when Pakistan Cricket Board chairman and Asian Cricket Council president Mohsin Naqvi reportedly walked away with the winners’ trophy immediately after India’s five-wicket win over Pakistan. It left the stage empty and fans stunned.
