The rivalry between India and Pakistan is intensifying in the 2025 Asia Cup. The PCB was displeased after Indian players did not shake hands with the Pakistani side in a prior match, leading to an ICC complaint. The Pakistan team’s repeated absence from pre-match press conferences, including their recent game against the UAE, has raised further concerns. This pattern of behavior could lead to penalties. In response to queries about the press conference, Mohsin Naqvi, the PCB Chairman, provided a vague response, stating, “We’ll talk soon.”
