Women’s T20 WC: Harmanpreet Kaur, Fatima Sana Skip Handshake Again During Toss Time
T20 World Cup Group: India captain Harmanpreet Kaur and Pakistan skipper Fatima Sana did not shake hands at the toss in their 2026 ICC Women’s T20 World Cup Group A clash at Edgbaston on Sunday, thus continuing a trend that has been present in the matches involving the arch rivals.
It was the second successive ICC tournament where both captains avoided the customary gesture, after it first happened during the 2025 Women’s ODI World Cup clash at the R Premadasa Stadium in Colombo. After India won the toss and chose to bat first, Harmanpreet was quick in speaking to broadcaster Mel Jones and didn’t even shake hands with Fatima.
It will be interesting to see if players from both teams will extend customary post-match handshakes, which also has been missing from India-Pakistan games. India lead Pakistan 6-2 in Women’s T20 World Cup meetings and have won four of their last five T20Is against them. The ‘no handshake policy’ has become a usual feature of India-Pakistan contests since the 2025 Men’s T20I Asia Cup in the UAE, especially after the Pahalgam attack and Operation Sindoor.
