When Will Team India Receive the Women's Asia Cup Trophy? Here's What We Know

The Indian Women's Cricket Team made headlines yet again after winning the Women's Asia Cup 2026. The Women's Asia Cup 2026 Final was played between India Women and Sri Lanka Women, a battle between two of the best women's cricket teams in the world. The match started with Harmanpreet Kaur winning the toss and electing to bat first, posting a huge total of 183 runs on a slow pitch, and ended with a win by dismissing Sri Lanka Women for 111 runs.

India Women have won the T20 Women's Asia Cup 4 out of 6 times. Still, this time they couldn't get their hands on the trophy as the Women's team followed the gesture of the Indian Men's Team after they won the Asia Cup in 2025, not collecting the winning trophy from the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president and the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman, Mohsin Naqvi. Fans think that this time the team might be getting the trophy back; let's have a look that when they will get the trophy.

When will Team India Receive Women's Asia Cup Trophy?

India Women Asia Cup 2026 trophy ceremony was an exact Déjà vu moment for Mohsin Naqvi, as the team declined to collect their winning medals as well as the trophy from Mohsin Naqvi, just as happened in 2025. As of now, there is no confirmed date for when the winning Women's Asia Cup trophy will be returned to the Champions. The team refused to accept the award from Mohsin Naqvi due to his political and leadership ties to Pakistan.

The Indian Women's Team and management were stuck with the decision not to collect the trophy; along with this, they couldn't get the Player of the Match and Player of the Tournament awards and tournament medals. Even Head Coach Amol Muzumdar noted that the team considers the tournament officially over and feels satisfied being crowned champions of Asia.

Which 2 Options Were Offered to Mohsin Naqvi?

The BCCI representative at the Final, Devajit Saikia, BCCI secretary, had a word with Mohsin Naqvi and offered 2 alternatives to conduct the India Women Asia Cup 2026 trophy ceremony smoothly, and both were rejected. BCCI proposed that the ACC vice-president, Khalid Al Zarooni, could present the trophy or, if not, then the representative of the winning board could do the same. However, the ACC President didn't agree to any of these and eventually didn't present the trophy and went on to face a lot of backlash, as before.
