In the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, the High-Voltage India vs Pakistan Group match can end with India’s seven-wicket win on September 14, but the play is only growing away from the field.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has now taken a fresh twist about the “Handshek” controversy with a formal complaint against Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav.
As mentioned by NDTV, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is upset over the comments after Suryakumar Yadav’s matches.

The Indian captain had dedicated men to the armed forces of India in Operation Sindoor in a seven -wicket win over Pakistan and increased solidarity for families affected by the tragic Pahalgam terror attack earlier this year.
The PCB believes that it was a political statement made by Suryakumar Yadav on an international cricket stage. The report wrote, “Sources told NDTV that PCB sees it as a political statement made on a sports stage, which believes they violate the spirit of the game.”

After Indian players refused to join hands with their Pakistani counterparts before and after the game, tension increased by breaking the long -standing tradition of goodwill and sportsmanship. The move left Pakistan’s camp frustrated and unhappy.
To make matters loudly, former PCB president and Pakistan captain Ramiz Raja, during the presentation after the match, exposed Suryakumar Yadav’s words and added fuel to the fire, which was far more harmful than the handshake controversy. Raja said that the Indian captain with his statement erased the line between politics and cricket.
What did Suryakumar Yadav say?
The Indian captain said after beating Pakistan in a group match in the post-match presentation, “The right opportunity, taking time out by the families of the victims of the Pahgam terror attack. We want to win all our armed forces.
The dispute has now reached the International Cricket Council (ICC), which has given PCB a time limit till Sunday, September 21, if they wish to take the matter forward, to file an official complaint. If Pakistan moves ahead, it can add more plays and wake up one of the most hot controversies between PCB and BCCI in recent years.
