BCCI official says ‘no assurance’ of handshake in India–Pakistan Women’s WC clash

BCCI secretary Devajit Saikia has said that there is no assurance of a handshake between India and Pakistan during their ICC Women’s World Cup 2025 clash, scheduled for Sunday, October 5.

The recently concluded Asia Cup came under the spotlight after India violated the spirit of the game and avoided handshakes with the Pakistan team in all three meetings during the tournament.

Moreover, after defeating Pakistan in the final, they snubbed the presentation ceremony and refused to receive the trophy from ACC President Mohsin Naqvi.

With Pakistan and India are set to collide again in the ICC Women’s CWC on October 05, the question everyone is now asking is whether the women’s team follows their Men’s team’s footsteps at the ICC event.

Now, Saika has expressed his thoughts, stating that there had been no change in India’s stand toward Pakistan.

“I cannot forecast anything, but our relationship with that country (Pakistan) remains the same, with no change in the past week,” Saikia said.

He further said that India will play against Pakistan, emphasizing MCC regulations.

“India will play the match against Pakistan in Colombo, and all cricket protocols will be followed.

I can only assure that whatever is outlined in the MCC regulations of cricket will be done. Whether there will be handshakes or hugs, I cannot assure you of anything at this moment,” he remarked.

Earlier, Indian journalist Boria Majumdar also commented on the Indian cricketers’ plan to carry their unsportsmanlike behavior into the Women’s World Cup.

“The India-Pakistan game in Colombo will not be just another cricket match. It will be a continuation of the Asia Cup, and the only thing that changes is the gender,” Majumdar wrote on X.
