‘No Handshake’ Policy Continues: What It Means for Today’s Match
One of the biggest talking points is the continuation of the No Handshake Policy between India A and Pakistan A players.
Officials confirmed that players will avoid physical greetings due to “protocol instructions and ongoing inter-board guidelines.”
This rule was first used earlier in 2025, and it continues to generate debate among fans and former cricketers.
What fans are saying:
