- On Tuesday, November 4, 2025, Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman and Asian Cricket Council President Mohsin Naqvi may skip the ICC Executive Board meeting in Dubai amid undisclosed domestic political issues.

- Naqvi says he will only hand over the trophy if a BCCI representative accepts it personally and has ordered ACC staff not to move it, with a virtual option possible.

- If Naqvi does not travel, Sumair Syed, PCB Chief Operating Officer, will attend the chief executives meeting and could represent Pakistan at the crucial board meeting on November 7, while Naqvi insists on a Dubai handover on November 10.
