PAKISTAN FILES COMPLAINT OVER TEAM INDIA'S REFUSAL TO SHAKE HANDS AFTER ASIA CUP CLASH. (PHOTO).


 A day after India’s emphatic seven-wicket victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup 2025 Group A match at the Dubai International Stadium, controversy has erupted off the field.


On Monday, Pakistan team manager Naveed Akram Cheema lodged an official complaint with match referee Andy Pycroft, accusing the Indian side, led by skipper Suryakumar Yadav, of violating the spirit of sportsmanship by refusing to shake hands with Pakistani players after the match.


The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) formally raised the issue, terming the behaviour "against the spirit of sports." In an official statement, Cheema stressed the importance of mutual respect in international cricket, particularly during high-profile tournaments such as the Asia Cup.


“The Pakistani cricket team manager, Naveed Akram Cheema, has officially lodged a protest against the Indian cricket team, calling the behaviour against the spirit of sports,” the PCB statement noted.


Sunday’s high-voltage clash had already been played under a charged atmosphere, with calls to boycott the game gaining momentum in India following the Pahalgam terror attack and the Indian Army’s ‘Operation Sindoor.’ The match went ahead as scheduled, but the latest controversy has further intensified tensions between the two cricketing rivals.
