India have refused to attend the Women's Asia Cup 2026 trophy presentation ceremony after their record-extending title triumph, with the team choosing not to receive the trophy from Pakistan Cricket Board chief and Asian Cricket Council chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

More than 30 minutes passed after the final before the presentation began. During the delay, the Indian players held an on-field huddle with BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia and vice-president Rajeev Shukla before returning to the dressing room. They did not come back for the ceremony, while Sri Lanka received their runners-up awards.

Naqvi later walked out of the stadium midway through the presentation after handing over the runners-up cheque to Sri Lanka captain Chamari Athapaththu. Loud reactions from the crowd followed his departure, with fan videos showing the unusual end to a trophy ceremony in which the champions were not present.
