Dubai: Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav bypassed the no-hand shake issue prior to the Asia Cup Rematch against Pakistan in Dubai on Sunday and chose to concentrate on the bat and ball instead.
The group A collision between the fierce rivals last Sunday ended on a bitter note when Indian players refused to shake hands with their opponents.
It was the first meeting between the regional neighbors since a four -day cross -border conflict in May.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had demanded the removal of Andy Pycroft as a competition referee for the Must-Win group match against the hosts. Zimbabwean Pycroft supervised that collision last Sunday.
The last group match of Pakistan-off the United Arab Emiraten-Werd delayed an hour for the impasse before the case was resolved with the PCB that claimed that Pycroft apologized.
Pycroft remained the match referee for the Wednesday game and is still planned to officially officially officize on Sunday.
Indian Media reported that the team is planning to keep the policy without holding a hand screen for Sunday’s collision.
Suryakumar changed the subject when he was asked about the hand pressure issue and the presence of Pycroft and said: “It will be a good game between the ball and the bat”.
He added: “Close your room, switch off your phone and sleep. I think that’s best to close the noise. It’s easy to say, but sometimes it’s hard.”
India won all three of their group competitions, which eliminated a brave Oman with 21 runs in Abu Dhabi on Friday in Abu Dhabi and was defeated with nine wickets with nine wickets with nine wickets.
Suryakumar praised Minnows Oman, who appeared in the Asia Cup for the first time, to set up a good fight.
“I feel that they played a good brand cricket,” he said about a team that ended on 167-4 in response to India’s 188-8. They have hit very well, but we also succeeded in giving a good outing to our players. “
