Mohsin Naqvi will miss Finals Day at Aichi-Nagoya 2026 ahead of India-Pakistan gold medal clash

Asian Cricket Council President and Pakistan Cricket Board leader Mohsin Naqvi will skip the concluding fixtures of the Aichi-Nagoya 2026 games due to scheduling conflicts. The announcement was made on Friday, confirming that prior obligations as Pakistan's Interior Minister prevent his travel to Japan for the medal rounds.

His absence coincides with the high-stakes gold medal showdown between India and Pakistan at Korogi Park in Nisshin City, preceded by a bronze medal contest featuring Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. Tensions have previously marked encounters between the two nations, including India's women's team declining a trophy presentation from Naqvi last month and the men's team refusing to accept awards from him following a previous tournament clash.
