Salman Agha said that before the recent no-handshake controversy in the Asia Cup 2025, he had never witnessed two teams not shaking hands, irrespective of how bad the situation was between them.
At the toss, Suryakumar Yadav didn't greet his counterpart, and after India registered a dominant 7-wicket victory in the Group Stage match, they refused to shake hands with Salman Agha & Co.
Then, during the Super Four match between India and Pakistan, Suryakumar Yadav totally ignored Salman Agha at the toss, and after registering another dominant 6-wicket victory, they refused to shake hands with the Pakistanis.
No handshakes are not good for cricket - Salman Agha
Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Pakistan skipper Salman Agha slammed Indian players for not shaking hands with Pakistanis and said it is bad for the game.
"He never told me that anything like that happened in the past, that two teams playing cricket didn’t shake hands. I’ve always heard that no such thing has ever happened on a cricket field. India and Pakistan have played earlier as well when the relations between the two countries were even worse. Even then, there used to be handshakes. According to me, no handshakes are not good for cricket,” said Agha in the pre-match press conference.
