India-Bangladesh U19 World Cup: Handshake Drama Ends After Tense Match

• India and Bangladesh U19 teams shook hands after their tense World Cup match, ending earlier drama.
• The initial non-handshake at the toss between captains Ayush Mhatre and Zawad Abrar sparked concerns.
• BCB clarified the absence of a handshake at the toss was unintentional due to captain Azizul Hakim's illness and a 'momentary lapse in concentration' by vice-captain Zawad Abrar.
• The incident rekindled memories of the 2025 Asia Cup where India avoided handshakes with Pakistan.
• Despite the handshake resolution, an ongoing impasse between India, Bangladesh, and ICC continues over Mustafizur Rahman's IPL ouster and BCB's T20 World Cup travel refusal.

Why It Matters: The India-Bangladesh U19 handshake drama concluded, but broader cricketing tensions persist.
