## No handshake

India and Pakistan players walked off the field without the conventional post-match handshake following their match at the Under-19 Asia Cup in Muscat on Sunday, Sportstar reported.

While it is common practice for players from both teams to shake hands during the toss and post-game, India has avoided the formality with Pakistan since the Pahalgam terror attack in 2024.

Most recently, former Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur skipped the customary handshake with her opposite number Fatima Sana during the semifinal of the Women's Asia Cup 2026.

One game later, India refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council chairman and Pakistan interior minister Mohsin Naqvi after defeating Sri Lanka in the final.
