India Maintain 'no Handshake' Policy Against Pakistan In U19 Asia Cup
Asian Cricket Council President Mohsin: As India and Pakistan once again faced each other on the cricket field, this time during the U19 Men's Asia Cup, India skipper Ayush Mhatre stuck to the 'no handshake' policy in the group stage fixture against their arch-rivals here at the ICC Academy Ground on Sunday.
At the toss, neither India's captain Mhatre nor Pakistan skipper Farhan Yousaf took the initiative to exchange the customary pleasantries. After Pakistan won the toss and chose to bowl first against India, the two captains did not even make eye contact; they simply gave their respective interviews and then headed towards their dressing rooms.
This continues from the no-handshake protocol initiated by the Indian men's team during the recently concluded Asia Cup 2025, where the Indian team did not shake hands with their Pakistan counterparts in all three matches of the tournament and then refused to receive the trophy from Asian Cricket Council President Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the Interior Minister of Pakistan.
