The Indian women's cricket team, captained by Harmanpreet Kaur, defeated South Africa by 52 runs in the final to win their first-ever ICC World Cup on Sunday. However, the arrangements for a victory parade in Mumbai have not yet been finalized by the BCCI.
When Indian cricket teams win the World Cup, they usually have a victory parade in Mumbai. The streets of Mumbai that lead to the Wankhede Stadium have always greeted their heroes in a spectacular way, from 2007 to 2011 to 2024. Harmanpreet Kaur and her team deserve an Open Bus victory parade after the Indian women won their first World Cup in four tries.In the ICC Women's World Cup 2025 summit match at the DY Patil Stadium, the Women in Blue defeated South Africa by 52 runs to win their first-ever ICC trophy after losing in the finals of the ODI World Cups in 2005, 2017 and the 2020 T20 World Cup. The incident signaled the start of a new era in Indian cricket.
However, as the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has not yet organized a lavish victory celebration, supporters may have to wait a little while longer to witness their champion team parade through the streets with the trophy. After India's victory, BCCI secretary Devaijit Saikia informed reporters, "A victory parade is not currently planned."

"I'm heading to Dubai to attend the meetings of the ICC. When we get back, we'll make plans appropriately because a number of high-ranking officials are also going there," Saikia continued from the Mumbai airport.
Asia Cup 2025 trophy dispute to be escalated to ICC by BCCI
Saikia is speaking of the cricket apex body's all-board annual conference in Dubai, which is scheduled for November 4–7. The BCCI will bring up the issue at the ICC meeting because it is improbable that Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC), will present the Asia Cup 2025 trophy to the winning Indian side by November 3.

Naqvi, who is also the head of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the country's interior minister, is hosting the Asia Cup 2025 at the ACC headquarters after the Indian team refused to accept the trophy. India protested the Pahalgam terror assault, which claimed the lives of 26 innocent people, by refusing to accept the trophy from Naqvi.
"We requested in a letter to the ACC Chairperson ten days ago that he give the trophy to the BCCI as soon as possible. However, we still haven't gotten the award. Another day is what we are waiting for.

"A meeting will be held at the ICC headquarters in Dubai if we do not receive the trophy by November 3rd. Our complaint will be brought before the highest authority in world cricket. "I am confident that the ICC will act fairly and assist India in receiving the trophy as soon as possible," Saikia remarked.
