Pakistan dedicate Asia Cup final match fees to ‘innocent victims’ of India’s May 7 attack

ISLAMABAD: The Pakistan cricket team has decided to dedicate its Asia Cup final match fees to the “innocent victims” of the May 7 attack launched by India, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Monday, as political tensions continued to dominate the tournament even after it concluded. India beat arch-rivals Pakistan by five wickets in the thrilling Asia Cup final on Sunday night. However, controversy ensued after the Indian cricket team refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the PCB chairman and Pakistan’s interior minister.
