Pakistani team protests referee's role in handshake snub at Asia Cup cricket match.

After India's victory over Pakistan in the Asia Cup, no handshakes were exchanged before or after the match. Pakistan's cricket board lodged a formal protest against referee Andy Pycroft, alleging he instructed both captains not to shake hands. India defended the decision as part of a policy set by the BCCI and the government, amid escalating tensions since April's Pahalgam terror attack. The PCB termed India's actions as "against sportsmanship."
