Pakistan to File ICC Complaint Against India Over U19 Asia Cup
Pakistan is upset with India's cricket team.
After a big win in a youth cricket tournament, the Indian team did not shake hands with the Pakistani team.
This made Pakistan angry, and they want to complain to the international cricket organization.
Pakistan wants to keep sports and politics separate, but they think India's behavior was not sportsmanlike.
There have been similar issues in the past, and it's not clear if this will be resolved before the next tournaments.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to file an official complaint with the ICC against India over alleged unsportsmanlike behaviour during the Under-19 Asia Cup final.
PCB chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed the complaint, citing the Indian team's refusal to shake hands with Pakistani players after the final.
The final was played in Dubai on December 21, with Pakistan winning by a big margin.
Tensions between the teams have been ongoing due to political tensions between the countries, with handshakes being avoided in several ICC and ACC events.
PCB wishes to keep cricket and politics separate but will not accept unequal treatment.
