India defeated Pakistan by seven wickets in the Asia Cup match played in Dubai on Sunday. In this match, no Indian players joined hands with Pakistani players during the toss or after winning. Angered by this, Pakistan captain Salman did not attend the TV interview after the Aga match.
After the match, Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav said, Team India had decided in collaboration with BCCI and Government of India before the match that they would not join hands with the opposition team.
At the same time, Pakistani head coach Mike Hessen said, “The team was waiting to join hands after the match, but it was found that India had ignored him.”
PCB complained A few hours after the match, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said in a statement a few hours after the match, our team manager Naveed Akram Cheema lodged a formal protest against the match referee Andy Pikeroft, as they requested the captains not to join hands during the toss. Currently, there is no statement from the match referee Picroft.
We only came here to play the match- Surya For the first time after the terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir in April this year, both teams were face to face. Pakistan won the toss and scored 127 runs in 20 overs, batting first. India, chasing the target, won by scoring 131 runs in 14.1 overs. Surya won the team with a six.
Suryakumar said in the press conference,‘We were completely united with the government and BCCI. We only came here to play the match and we gave the correct answer. Some things are also above sportsmanship. We stand with all the victims and their families of the Pahalgam terror attack and express their solidarity. Surya dedicated the victory to the Indian Army, who was involved in Operation Sindoor in May.
We were ready to join hands- Hasan Hessen expressed disappointment over India’s behavior. They said, ‘We were ready to join hands after the match, but we are definitely disappointed that our opposition team did not do so. We went there to join hands and they had already gone to the dressing room.
he adds, ‘It was disappointing to end the match like this, and we were disappointed with the way we played, but we were ready to join hands. Captain Aga did not get angry and went to the interview.
What do ICC or ACC rules say It is not written in any rule book of cricket that it is necessary to handhek after the match. Hand shaking is not a rule, but it is considered part of the game spirit. This is the reason that after almost every match, the players of both teams meet each other.
The Indian team was being criticized for the Indian team in the Asia Cup Team India was being criticized for playing in the Asia Cup with Pakistan. Before the match, the demand for Boycott on social media intensified. The debate broke out on the alleged derogatory post of Pakistani players. Captain Suryakumar also had a dispute over joining hands at the press conference with ACC and PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi, although the video later clearly made it clear that Salman Aga also shook hands.
The families of the victims also protested. Ashanya Dwivedi, wife of Shubham Dwivedi, who was killed in the attack, said, ‘It is wrong to play with Pakistan. BCCI seems to not care about 26 people who died.
Shiv Sena (UBT) MP Priyanka Chaturvedi also appealed to boycott the match, accusing Pakistani players of supporting the attack on social media.
