Handshake controversy explained | BCCI clears ICC rules after PCB complaint | Ind vs Pak Asia Cup

The India vs Pakistan handshake controversy during Asia Cup 2025 has taken a dramatic turn. After India’s emphatic win, the Indian players walked off without shaking hands with Pakistan’s cricketers, which left PCB fuming. PCB rushed to ICC with a complaint, claiming disrespect, and even warned of boycott. But now, BCCI has finally broken its silence and given a strong reply.

A senior BCCI official has made it clear that there is no official ICC law that forces players to shake hands after a match. It is only a matter of sportsmanship tradition, not a binding rule. Considering the political and cricketing tensions between India and Pakistan, Indian players were under no obligation to follow this ritual. The BCCI has also clarified that India’s actions were neither wrong nor against the spirit of cricket, especially when relations remain strained.

This bold stand by BCCI has silenced PCB’s complaints and exposed their hollow threats. The ICC too has supported the fact that there are no written rules for post-match handshakes. The controversy has now turned into a huge embarrassment for Pakistan cricket.

Do you support BCCI’s reply to PCB? Should handshakes be mandatory after every India-Pakistan clash? Share your views in the comments!
