BCCI Rejects ICC Plea, India U-19 Maintains No-Handshake Policy vs. Pakistan

• BCCI rejected ICC's plea to abandon the no-handshake policy against Pakistan in U-19 cricket.
• India's U-19 team maintained the no-handshake policy during their U-19 Asia Cup match against Pakistan in Dubai.
• Indian U-19 captain Ayush Mhatre did not shake hands with Pakistani captain Farhan Yousuf after the toss.
