T20 WC: Agha Hopes For 'good Spirit' In India-Pak Clash, Stays Non-committal On Handshake
T20 World Cup: Ahead of Sunday's high-voltage India-Pakistan clash in the T20 World Cup, Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha stated that he hopes the game will be played in the right spirit but remained non-committal on the customary handshake.
The comments come months after the no-handshake protocol adopted by the Indian men's team during the Men's Asia Cup in September 2025. In all three matches of the tournament, the Indian team did not shake hands with the Pakistan players. Additionally, they refused to accept the trophy from Asian Cricket Council (ACC) President Mohsin Naqvi, who is also Pakistan's Interior Minister.
“Cricket should be played in spirit. And what I expect, obviously, does not matter. But I feel that the game should be played the same way as it has been since the beginning of cricket. And the rest is up to them and whatever they want to do," Agha told reporters on Saturday in Colombo.
