India vs Pakistan: The sixth match of the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 between India and Pakistan is going to be played today at Edgbaston Cricket Ground, Birmingham from 7:00 pm. Team India will enter this match with the intention of winning. At the same time, Pakistan women’s cricket team would also like to snatch the match from the hands of India. Before that, a statement by Indian cricket team captain Harmanpreet Kaur has made headlines all around.

India captain Harmanpreet Kaur participated in the press conference before the match on Saturday. There she was asked a question which she often avoids answering. This question was related to India-Pakistan relations. In the press conference, Harmanpreet Kaur was asked whether she would shake hands with Pakistan cricket team captain Fatima Sana and the players.

She answered this but nothing was clear from her answer whether she was going to meet Pakistani captain and players today or not? So before that let us know what Indian captain Harmanpreet Kaur has said on this question.

Harman replied on joining hands with Pakistan

Harmanpreet Kaur said, ‘We are here for cricket and we only talk about cricket. We don’t talk about anything other than cricket and I don’t even think we know anything other than cricket. Cricket has been our dream since day one and we just talk about cricket and for tomorrow’s game we are just thinking that this is another game that we are going to play.

Let us tell you that Pakistan players do not shake hands on the cricket field against the Indian cricket team. That sports and terrorism are against thriving on the same soil. Pakistan is often doing cowardly acts against India. Indian cricketers are not shaking hands with Pakistani cricketers after the Pahalgaon attack. It was started by Indian men’s team captain Suryakumar Yadav. He did not shake hands with Pakistan captain Salman Ali Aga during Asia Cup 2026. From then till now the Indian cricket team is not shaking hands with Pakistani cricketers on the field.

Jai Shah shook hands with Pakistani captain

When the Captain Meet and Trophy Photoshoot program was organized in London for the ICC Women’s T20 World Cup 2026. At that time, former Secretary of the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Chairman of the International Cricket Council (ICC) Jay Shah had also reached there. During this, he went on stage and shook hands with all the captains. During this, he also shook hands with Pakistani captain Fatima Sana.

Jai Shah is an Indian and he is the son of Bharatiya Janata Party’s Home Minister Amit Shah. He has also served Indian cricket a lot but at that time when he shook hands, he was only performing the duties of ICC Chairman.
