Naqvi took the Asia Cup trophy and medals with him and didn't give them to winning Indian team.
Naqvi, ACC and PCB chief, and Pakistan's Interior Minister, left the stadium with the Asia Cup 2025 trophy and medals after India captain Suryakumar Yadav and the Indian team refused to take them from him due to his anti-India stance. Naqvi has reiterated that if the Indian team wants the trophy, they must take it from him at the ACC office.
With the trophy deadlock refusing to end, Chaudhary blasted Naqvi for doing what he did after the final.
"Anybody could have handed over the trophy. There were plenty of individuals representing the UAE authority as well. Nothing states that you have to collect the trophy from just one person. It has no mention in the rules, but woh Sajjan trophy leke chale gaye (he took away the trophy). Sajjan also has another meaning. Like I said, there's no rule that only one person has to hand over the trophy," said Chaudhary on the Raunac Podcast.
"I don't even know who he is," he added when asked if he had ever met him.
Chaudhary labeled Naqvi’s action as bizarre and stated that he never saw anything like this during his days as an umpire.
"I just know Mohsin Raza. I only saw it in the media. Yeh coat-pant waalo se zyada milta nahi main (I don't meet people who wear coats and pants). I have never seen a trophy not be given. In local cricket, yes, there must have been instances, but I can't recall," he added.
Chaudhary, who now operates a YouTube channel after retiring from umpiring, also discussed the controversial India-Pakistan handshake issue.
“There's no such guideline. The handshake culture has come into existence over the last 15-16 years. When I started officiating in the Ranji Trophy, there was no such practice. Yes, the captains used to shake hands, but not all players. Today, the players shake hands with almost 70 people. This is just a gesture. It's up to you whether you want to or not," Chaudhary explained.
