BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has revealed that the 'ice has been broken' in the standoff with the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chairman Mohsin Naqvi.
Negotiations on the Sidelines of ICC Meeting
The crucial talks that led to this thaw occurred informally during the sidelines of a recent ICC meeting. Saikia, in a statement to PTI, confirmed that both parties have now resolved to settle the matter amicably. He emphasized that the BCCI and Naqvi have agreed to work together to find a solution to the issue at the earliest possible opportunity.

This breakthrough, announced on 8 November 2025, signals a de-escalation of tensions between the two powerful cricket boards. The commitment from both sides to resolve the trophy row marks a constructive turn of events for the administration of cricket in the region. While specific details of the potential resolution were not immediately disclosed, the positive dialogue suggests that a final agreement is on the horizon.
