He also said that the PCB has written to the ICC regarding the inappropriate behavior of Indian players during the Under-19 Asia Cup. He added that if Indian players do not want to shake hands with Pakistan, then Pakistan also has no desire to do so, and that the Prime Minister has stated that there should be no politics in sports.
