India's cricket team refused to accept the Asia Cup trophy after beating Pakistan, amid rising tensions between the two nations, sparking a heated debate about nationalism and sportsmanship in international competitions. The move was seen as a symbolic gesture of defiance by India against Pakistan, which has been accused of sponsorship ties with militant groups. Pakistan had offered the trophy to India after their match, but it was rejected citing rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC) governing body. The incident is likely to fuel further tensions between the two cricket rivals.
