In a statement, Naqvi said he was disheartened to witness a lack of sportsmanship in the highly anticipated Pakistan-India clash. “Dragging politics into the game goes against the true spirit of sports,” he remarked.

“It is utterly disappointing to witness such a lack of sportsmanship today,” Naqvi wrote on X, adding that “bringing politics into the game undermines the true spirit of sports.”

So far, the ACC has not issued an official response to the matter.

Naqvi further emphasized that he hopes all teams will celebrate their future victories with dignity and grace.

Meanwhile, Pakistan and India remain on course for another potential clash in the Asia Cup, provided both sides advance to the super four stage.
