Indian players will shake hands with Pakistani players, will they have to follow ICC’s advice?

Even before the start of the Under-19 Asia Cup to be held in Dubai, an interesting controversy has arisen. 8 teams from Asia will take the field in this tournament starting from December 12, but before that an ICC advisory is sparking debate on social media. The ICC has suggested that players from India and Pakistan shake hands before the match.

However, whether to believe it or not is completely left to the head coach and manager of Team India. This is why now the question is hot among cricket fans, will Indian players join hands with Pakistani players in the current situation? Especially when the teams of both the countries have avoided shaking hands in many big tournaments in the past.

ICC Advice: Will Team India join hands?

All eyes are on what decision Team India head coach Hrishikesh Kanitkar and team manager Anand Datar take on this sensitive matter. Whether Vaibhav Suryavanshi, Ayush Mhatre and the entire Indian team will follow this advice of ICC is currently a matter of conjecture. The tension between the two countries after Operation Sindoor has also affected sports relations. Earlier, in the Senior Asia Cup, Women’s World Cup and Emerging Asia Cup, players of India and Pakistan had kept distance by shaking hands. In such a situation, the possibility of joining hands this time seems very less.
