Asia Cup: Pakistan Might Boycott Next Match After Handshake Dispute

The controversy surrounding the lack of a handshake between Indian and Pakistani players has escalated. This issue quickly reached the International Cricket Council (ICC) within 24 hours of the match in Dubai. Following the game, the Indian team did not shake hands with the Pakistani players, which the Pakistani manager reported to match referee Andy Pycroft. However, a day later, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) lodged a complaint against the referee with the ICC. Furthermore, the PCB has suggested that they will boycott the remaining matches of the tournament if the referee is not replaced.
