Following the stand taken by India’s men’s team during the Asia Cup-winning campaign, the women’s team too has been advised by the BCCI not to shake hands with Pakistan’s players for their ICC Women’s World Cup league game in Colombo on Sunday, The Indian Express has learnt.
The message to avoid handshakes, at the toss or after the game, was delivered just before the women’s team departed for Sri Lanka on Wednesday, BCCI sources said.
“The team won’t be shaking hands with the Pakistan team during the World Cup.
The Indian men’s team faced Pakistan thrice in the UAE during the Asia Cup, including in the final which they won by five wickets.
For the women, the game against Pakistan will be their second in the World Cup after they won their first league game against Sri Lanka in Guwahati on Tuesday.
