    Asia Cup: PCB Lodges Protest With ACC After India's Handshake Snub

    Pakistan Cricket Board: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has filed an official complaint with the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) after Indian players declined to shake hands following their Asia Cup match, calling the gesture "unsporting".

    Pakistan's response came after the match which India won by seven wickets in Dubai. Following the win, Indian players out in the middle - captain Suryakumar Yadav and Shivam Dube - walked back to their dressing room without the customary handshake with Pakistani players. The gesture left Pakistan team in surprise and even their captain Salman Agha skipped the TV interview to mark his protest.

    "Team manager Naveed Cheema lodged a strong protest against Indian players' behaviour of not shaking hands. It was deemed as unsporting and against the sport of the game. As a protest we did not send our captain to the post match ceremony," read a PCB statement.
