Mohsin Naqvi to Miss Asian Games 2026 Finals Day

ACC President and Pakistan Cricket Board chairman Mohsin Naqvi will not attend the Asian Games 2026 finals in Japan. The Asian Cricket Council confirmed his absence is due to prior commitments related to his dual roles as PCB chairman and Pakistan's Interior Minister. Naqvi sent his best wishes to the teams competing in the medal matches.

India's men's cricket team is scheduled to face Pakistan in Saturday's gold medal match at Korogi Park. Tensions have marked recent encounters; the Indian team previously refused to accept trophies from Naqvi and declined handshakes during the 2025 Men's T20 Asia Cup campaign.
