Pakistan Files Official Complaint After Indian Team Snubs Handshakes and Shuts Dressing-Room Door

Pakistan files an official complaint after the Indian cricket team shuts its dressing-room door and avoids post-match handshakes, sparking fresh controversy. According to reports, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has raised the matter with the match officials and tournament organizers, citing the incident as a violation of the spirit of the game.

 

The controversy unfolded after a heated encounter between India and Pakistan, where emotions were already running high. Following the match, the Indian players reportedly avoided customary handshakes and closed their dressing-room door, which Pakistan interpreted as an intentional snub.

 

This move has not only angered the PCB but has also fueled debates among cricket fans and analysts worldwide. While some argue that sportsmanship must be upheld irrespective of rivalry, others believe the Indian team was under no obligation to engage in post-match pleasantries given the political and emotional weight of such matches.

 

Tournament organizers are yet to release an official statement, but sources suggest they may look into the matter to ensure such tensions do not escalate further in future fixtures.

 

With India–Pakistan matches already being one of the most high-pressure sporting events globally, this fresh dispute highlights how cricket between the two nations extends far beyond the boundary lines, often reflecting political and cultural rivalries as well.
