I’m sure it follows the instructions, but if it were up to him, he would shake with me.”

Pakistani captain was particularly critical of India’s behavior during the trophy presentation. “What India has done in this tournament is a very disappointment,” Agha said. “Not recognizing us by not shaking hands – they don’t respect cricket. Good teams don’t do what they have done today. I don’t want to use hard words, but it was very disrespect. AGHA concluded a press conference by announcing that the Pakistani cricket team donated its fees for the match “Pakistani civilians who were killed” during the Sindoor operation in May. “As a team, we donate our fees for the match to our civilians who were affected during the Indian attack.”
