Bulawayo: The memory of the ‘no handshake’ of the India Pakistan match is now back in the World Cup match between India and Bangladesh. India and Bangladesh face each other in the U-19 World Cup match at Bulawayo on Saturday. Neither Bangladesh captain Jawad Abrar nor India captain Ayush Matre shook hands after the toss in that match.
The no handshake debate between India and Bangladesh started from the 2025 Asia Cup. India and Pakistan met several times in that tournament but neither shook hands. This time, the controversy came to the children’s World Cup match between India and Bangladesh.
The Pahalgaon terror attack was cited as the reason for no handshake between India and Pakistan. However, although the relationship with Bangladesh is not like that of Pakistan, recently, due to Bangladeshi’s hatred of India, Mustafizur Rahman was excluded from the IPL, and bitterness started with the cricket relationship between the two countries. In this, there is uncertainty about India going to Bangladesh to play the series in Bangladesh.
The closeness of Bangladesh is gradually increasing with Pakistan, along with the political closeness, the cricketing relationship of Bangladesh and Pakistan is also getting closer. Later Bangladesh announced that they will come to India to play the World Cup, the matches will be played in Sri Lanka. That controversy is still not resolved, in the meantime India and Bangladesh did not shake hands in the U-19 T20 World Cup.
