The focus on BCCI’s politicised trophy ceremony is important because it risks overshadowing the women’s team’s hard-earned Asia Cup victory. The players’ achievement should remain central, not the politics around the presentation.

I completely agree that the players’ incredible achievement deserves to be the sole focus. It is disappointing when administrative decisions distract from the hard work and talent that led to this victory.
