You may represent the senior team. You may play for the Women’s team. Or you may take part in Youth ODIs. If you represent India, you just can’t shake hands with your Pakistani counterparts. This has been the policy laid out by the BCCI ever since the Asia Cup 2025. The ‘no handshake’ policy that made more rounds than the actual cricket last year has continued in Sunday’s India vs Pakistan Under-19 Super Six game at the ICC Under-19 World Cup 2026 in Zimbabwe.
During the toss, it is customary for both the captains to greet each other with a shake of hands. But that sight, expectedly was missing when Ayush Mhatre of India and Farhan Yousuf of Pakistan walked out to the pitch in Bulawayo. No handshake, just the toss, where Pakistan opted to chase in order to save their tournament. India are all but through to the semi-finals but they need to avoid a heavy defeat. Pakistan, meanwhile, have an outside chance if they bundle India quickly and chase down inside 30 overs. Certainly an improbable task.
