Suryakumar Yadav has opened up on the Asia Cup trophy debacle as the BCCI looks to tackle Mohsin Naqvi’s antics. PCB have tightened their NOC rules, which could financially hurt Pakistan players. Dinesh Karthik will play in ILT20 alongside Ravichandran. Hardik Pandya is ruled out of the India vs Australia ODI series. And RCB might get sold before IPL 2026.
Mohsin Naqvi vs BCCI begins
ACC organised a meeting on September 30 in Dubai, post the Asia Cup trophy debacle. BCCI’s representatives were present, but Mohsin Naqvi didn’t wish to discuss the matter. BCCI told him to send the medals and trophy to the ACC office, but he didn’t agree. Furthermore, Naqvi demands that if India wants the Asia Cup trophy, Suryakumar Yadav has to personally accept it from him.
RCB sold before IPL 2026?
RCB might undergo a change of ownership before the IPL 2026 season. Diageo PLC doesn’t consider the franchise a ‘core business’ and is willing to sell the team. Adar Poonawalla, CEO of Serum Institute of India, is interested in buying RCB for $2 billion (INR 17,753 crore).
Suryakumar Yadav on Asia Cup trophy debacle
India T20I captain Suryakumar Yadav has claimed that the decision to refuse accepting the Asia Cup trophy from ACC and PCB head Mohsin Naqvi was taken by the team, refuting Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha’s claims that Suryakumar was following BCCI and the Indian government’s orders.
