There is a discussion of No-Pak match in the Asia Cup after the Indo-Pak match.
No handshake controversy: The match between India and Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday gave rise to a new controversy. India defeated Pakistan by 7 wickets in the Asia Cup match. But after the toss and victory, the Indian player did not join hands with Pakistani players. After this, Pakistan captain Salman did not attend the presentation ceremony after the Aga match. Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav says that this was the decision of BCCI and team management. Some things are more than sportsmanship.
Now in this whole matter, the question is arising that whether it is necessary to join the players in the playground, what is the rule on this, what is the attitude of the Authority ICC that controls cricket at the international level?
What is the rule of ICC on joining hands?
There has been a tradition in international cricket that the batting team enters the field to join hands with the opposing team. Both sides are given a chance to end the match in a friendly manner and exchange incentive words. What is the rule of ICC about this, now we also know this.
The ICC has its rules and regulations. It is not written anywhere in the rules that it is mandatory for the players to join hands. Many other things have been mentioned in the ICC’s Code of Kandkat. It has been said that ‘players and umpires of the opposing team should be respected in the match’. Therefore, after the match is over in cricket, players usually shake hands or greet with bat/gloves.
The Code of Conduct states that cricket should be played with the spirit of sports. The captains are responsible for conducting fair sports, but all the players, umpires and especially in junior cricket are also teachers, trainers and parents. Respect the rights of your captain, teammates, opponents and umpires. Play with hard work and impartiality. Accept the decision of the umpire. Create a positive atmosphere with your conduct and encourage others to do so. Stay in discipline even when things are against you. Congratulations to the opposition on their successes and enjoy your team’s successes.
Who said on no-handshek control?
Pakistan has been shocked on this whole matter. Former Pak captain Rashid Latif accused the Indian cricket team of doing politics and said, “India is not shaking hands, which he will have to carry throughout his life.” The war has already happened, but we have always shook hands. The apprehensions about the Pahalgam attack are justified, but when you are on the field, play the game properly. India should have fought the war, not backward.
At the same time, former Pakistan bowler Shoaib Akhtar says that this is a cricket match. It should not be made political. There are quarrels inside the house too. Forget and move on. Show decency.
The pain inflicted by team India by not shaking has sent shockwaves in pak:

In his statement, Shoaib Akhtar honored Salman Ali Aga’s decision in which he did not attend the presentation ceremony. On this, Shoaib Akhtar says that Salman Ali Aga fixed, he did not go after the match, it is good.
Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav It is to be said that we only came here to play. We replied to them. Some things are above the sportsmanship. The decision not to meet the hand was BCCI and the team. We are with our government and BCCI.
