Pakistan Protests Indian Players' No Handshake After Asia Cup Match, Threatens Boycott

A senior Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) official said that shaking hands with the opponent at the end of a cricket match is just a goodwill gesture, in the context of the controversy following the Asia Cup 2025 match between India and Pakistan. India captain Suryakumar Yadav did not exchange pleasantries with his Pakistan counterpart Salman Ali Agha after the match. Even after India's 7-wicket win, Indian cricketers did not shake hands with their opposition. The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) was not happy with the incident and decided to lodge an official complaint with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC). However, the BCCI official made it clear that what India did was not wrong at all.
