Indian team did not take the trophy from Naqvi
India and Pakistan cricket cricket relations are already at the lowest level and the situation deteriorated when the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and Asian Cricket Council (ACC) chief Mohsin Naqvi refused to give the winning trophy to the Suryakumar Yadav -led Indian team. In the final of the Asia Cup 2025, India won the title by defeating Pakistan, but the controversy over the trophy distribution after the match raised the heat between both cricket administrators and fans. Due to this, Pakistan cricket team and Mohsin Naqvi were very bad. In the match, India had already decided that he would not take the trophy from Naqvi’s hand, while Naqvi took the trophy and medal with him, crossing the limits of shamelessness and sent to the office of the Asian Cricket Council. The incident questioned the credibility of the PCB.
No handshake policy will also be applicable in Women’s ODI World Cup
A senior BCCI official told PTI, ‘The BCCI is in line with the government’s policy. There will be no handshake on the toss, nor a photo session with the match referee nor the end of the match. Like the men’s team, the women’s team will also adopt the same policy.
Both captains will not have talks
It will also be interesting in Colombo as to whom the toss will be done. It is expected that a former player or expert in the neutral country will take responsibility for it. This atmosphere will be completely different from the 2022 ODI World Cup (New Zealand), when the pictures of Indian players with the little daughter of Pakistan captain Bismah Maroof went viral. This time, the exchange of formal wishes between Harmanpreet Kaur and Pakistan captain Fatima Sana also seems difficult.
