Asian Cricket Council (ACC) and Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi strongly criticised India for refusing handshakes with Pakistan players in Dubai. After India’s seven-wicket win, led by stand-in captain Suryakumar Yadav, the team chose not to shake hands, upsetting Pakistan’s side. Naqvi posted on X that politics should not enter sports. Suryakumar defended the move, saying, “Some things in life are above sportsmanship. We dedicate this win to victims of the Pahalgam attack and our armed forces.” Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha skipped the post-match ceremony. The snub sparked heated debate across cricket and social media. (PC: X)
