India’s 7-wicket win over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 was overshadowed by fresh controversy. Captain Suryakumar Yadav and his team refused the post-match handshake, drawing criticism from Pakistan and a formal PCB complaint. Former cricketer Suresh Raina claimed, “No Indian player wanted to play the Asia Cup. They are forced because BCCI agreed.” He added that if players were asked personally, “they would have said no.” Raina’s remarks highlight growing unease among Indian cricketers about playing Pakistan. With Pakistan players fuming and Indian players reportedly unhappy, the tournament has turned into a political and emotional flashpoint. (PC: X)
