India captain Suryakumar Yadav did not shake hands with Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha during the Asia Cup toss. Match referee Andy Pycroft was reportedly informed of India's decision just four minutes before the toss. The PCB complained about Pycroft's handling of the situation, but the ICC did not remove him as referee.
“After the match, the Indian players refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts, standing in solidarity with the victims of the Pahalgam attack.”
