Recently, the India Women’s National Cricket Team won the Women’s Asia Cup 2026, beating Sri Lanka in the final by 72 runs, and after that Harmanpreet Kaur’s side refused to take the trophy from the hands of the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) president Mohsin Naqvi, who is also the chief of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), due to a strained relationship between the two countries.
“If the government has taken a decision not to shake hands with Pakistani players, then the players have no choice. In such matters, players will go by what the government says,” Kapil Dev told India Today.
Why have India and Pakistan stopped customary handshakes?
After that, the no-handshake policy extended from the men's team to Women's Cricket and U-19 cricket as well. During India and Pakistan's match at the Women's ODI World Cup in October 2025, Harmanpreet Kaur and her teammates avoided the usual post-match handshake. Similar things happened in other age-group championships and the 2026 T20 World Cups.
Following the chaotic incidents in the Asia Cup 2025 and then in the Women’s Asia Cup 2026, the BCCI has not taken any action because there have been reports that Mohsin Naqvi, whose tenure is set to end in April 2027, will not get another term, as the ACC board members might vote against him in the forthcoming term.
