The Pakistan Cricket Board had stated that the coincidence referee Andy Pycroft was skewed by informing Suryakumar Yadav of the changed protocol, which caused the Fiasco by hand; However, the Indians have denied these allegations in the Asia Cup in 2025.
India played against Pakistan at the Asia Cup Sunday meeting at 2025 at the International Dubai Stadium. The game was affected by various incidents of poor behavior, which led to the humiliation of Pakistani players.
The Indian pattern and Pakistani Suryakumar Yadav and Salman Agha were not exchanging eyes, not even shaking hands. Later, after the conclusion of the party, other cases of any hand shocked everyone.
Your daily dose of cricket!
India dismissed the alleged claims about party referee Andy Pycroft
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had filed a formal complaint to the CPI, claiming that the party referee, Andy Pycroft, violated the ICC’s code of conduct and the spirit of the game, allegedly asking the two captains to jump their ritualistic hand in the vault.
However, recently, the sources of the Indian team have informed Indian Express that these instructions were not transmitted to the Indian pattern, Suryakumar Yadav, during the Asian Cup match.
They have clearly stated that the decision not to shake hands were already taken inside the Indian camp after Pahalgam’s terror attack. Indian players had called for solidarity with victims and military operations at Kashmir.
Mike Hesson was also upset by India’s behavior in the Asia Cup
The PCB chief, who is also the President of the Asi Council of the Cricket, had demanded the immediate removal of Andy Pycroft from the rest of the tournament. The PCB has cited Article 2.1.1 of the Code of Conduct of the ICC for the party officials and the support staff, who cover the behavior “contrary to the spirit of the game”. However, the CPI has denied its demands to the party referee.
Even Pakistan coach Mike Hesson had expressed his disappointment over the lack of post-partite interaction. “We were ready to shake hands at the end of the game. We went there to shake hands, but they had already entered the locker room,” said Hesson.
India qualified for Super-4; Pakistan is waiting for the game against the United Arab Emirates for a Super-4 place
Despite the tensions and outrage, the meeting had attracted a large crowd of people at the Dubai Stadium compared to the previous matches of the tournament. The rivalry of India and Pakistan could witness the Asia Cup 2025.
India, with 2 wins, has already qualified for the Super-4 stage, while Pakistan should win a victory in his last game against the United Arab Emirates to seal his place at Super-4. If they are classified, India and Pakistan would play again to play one another in the Asia Cup.
