Dubai, UAE – The ongoing political tensions between India and Pakistan influenced the conclusion of their Asia Cup 2025 cricket match, where Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav announced the team’s refusal to shake hands with Pakistan as a protest against recent conflicts. Despite winning the match, Yadav emphasized that their actions were a response to the victims of a terror attack in Kashmir, leading to Pakistan’s protest over the handshake omission, which was reportedly approved by match officials.
