Another shameful act by PCB Chief! First stole the Asia Cup trophy, now made it disappear from ACC headquarters too

News India Live, Digital Desk: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has once again become a laughing stock in the cricket world for his controversial actions. After making the Asia Cup trophy the pride of their home, now they have committed another shameful act. This time he has also got the real Asia Cup trophy removed from the headquarters of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) located in Dubai.

After this incident, there is an uproar in the cricket world and people are raising questions whether the cricket trophy is like a personal property for the PCB Chief, which he can keep whenever he wants, wherever he wants?

First took it home, now got it removed from office also

This whole controversy started when a few months ago a picture of Mohsin Naqvi went viral, in which the gleaming Asia Cup trophy was seen kept in his house in Lahore. He was heavily criticized for this and was even taunted as “trophy thief”. People had said that this trophy is not the pride of any one country but of the whole of Asia and decorating it at someone’s house is an insult to the rules and spirit of sports.

Now, instead of correcting that mistake, Naqvi has created another big mess.

• What did you do this time?: According to reports, Naqvi has put pressure on ACC officials and got the original Asia Cup trophy kept in Dubai headquarters removed from there.
• Why did you do this?: It is said that he was so embarrassed and upset by the allegations of his “theft” that he kept the original trophy away from sight, so that no one could say that he had kept a fake trophy at his home.

ACC President Jay Shah took action!

ACC President Jay Shah has taken a strong stance on this childish and irresponsible action of the PCB Chief.

• Replica placed in place of the original: On the instructions of Jai Shah, now a replica of the original trophy has been kept in place of it at the ACC headquarters.
• Locked in the real trophy locker: The original trophy has been kept safely in a locker, so that in future no official can do anything as per his wish and the dignity of the trophy remains intact.

These actions of Mohsin Naqvi have not only tarnished the image of Pakistan cricket, but have also shown how people in power can make a mockery of the game and its traditions. This incident also raises a big question on the accountability of cricket administrators.
