Chaudhary noted that there's no ICC rule mandating post-match handshakes, believing the controversy was unnecessarily created and entirely avoidable. While speaking to ANI, Anil Chaudhary said, 'I think that after losing the match, it was a part of turning things around. Pakistan swiftly responded and expressed its disappointment by withdrawing from the post-match presentation. Pakistan's act was a clear response to their demand for the removal of the match referee, Andy Pycroft, which the ICC denied. Pakistan also skipped the post-match presentation after their clash in the ongoing T20 Asia Cup against India.
