Chief of Pakistan Cricket Board and the Interior Minister of Pakistan Mohsin Naqvi is now claiming that India has disgraced the spirit of game. After India refused to accept trophy from Mohsin Naqvi’s hands, Naqvi who humbled himself on the world stage when he walked off with the Asia Cup trophy, is now claiming that India has disgraced the spirit of the game. Mohsin Naqvi whose X account is withheld in India, replied on the microblogging platform to congratulatory post of Prime Minister Narendra Modi after the match. “If war was your measure of pride, history already records your humiliating defeats at Pakistan’s hands. No cricket match can rewrite that truth. Dragging war into sport only exposes desperation and disgraces the very spirit of the game,” told Naqvi.
Prime Minister Narendra Modi earlier cheered India’s famous win telling, “Operation Sindoor on the games field. Outcome is the same – India wins! Congrats to our cricketers.”
The presenter for the host broadcaster, Simon Doull towards the end of the ceremony, confirmed that, ” I have been informed by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) that the Indian cricket team will not be collecting their awards tonight. So that does conclude the post-match presentation.”
