Cricket diplomacy’ collapses as India-Pakistan

hostility enters field of play

Indian players refuse to shake hands with Pakistani counterparts after Asia Cup match, in sign that traditional onfield camaraderie is eroding

As nationalistic rivalries go, few run as deep as India and Pakistan. But even as the neighbours fought wars against each other, carried out rival nuclear tests and conducted nightly shows of strength along their heavily militarised border, there was always one thing that brought them together: cricket.

I do feel the pleasantries of shaking hands after games is a over hype waste of time, once the umpires on field are in control, that is all that matters
