The long-running Asia Cup trophy dispute was discussed during the International Cricket Council (ICC) meeting in Dubai, but not formally.
Despite the fact that the issue of the Asia Cup trophy was not part of the official agenda, the ICC arranged a behind-closed-doors meeting between BCCI and PCB officials.

A correspondent of Dainik Jagran claimed that ICC has decided not to form any special committee for the Asia Cup trophy dispute. Instead, Saikia and Naqvi will now exchange some proposals with each other on this matter in the coming days.
Once both parties agree on a suitable option, that decision will be considered final. The move could finally end the long-running 2025 Asia Cup trophy dispute.
