This report highlights the high drama witnessed during the U-19 World Cup match between India and Bangladesh. At the time of the toss, the two captains reportedly refused to shake hands, a move attributed to ongoing diplomatic tensions between the two nations. The program discusses how this “no handshake policy” is becoming a new form of weaponization in cricket, reflecting wider political protests on the field. The speaker notes that the trend has intensified since “Operation Sindoor”, citing previous instances of Indian and Pakistani captains including Harmanpreet Kaur and Fatima Sana shunning the customary gesture during the Asia Cup and ICC events. The discussion highlights that “politics are now entering the game and have now completely taken control of India’s matches”, extending beyond the traditional India-Pakistan rivalry to include India-Bangladesh encounters. The segment examines the implications of these diplomatic frictions for the future of international cricket and the role of governing bodies such as the BCCI and ICC in handling such on-field incidents.
