- •Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) released a promotional video for their upcoming series against Australia, taking a dig at India's 'no handshake policy'.

- •The policy was adopted by India's youth and women's cricket teams in subsequent fixtures against Pakistan.
- •The viral promo video features a taxi driver implying an Australian tourist forgot to shake hands because they 'stopped by our neighbors' (India).
- •India's decision to not shake hands reportedly stemmed from a terror attack in Pahalgam.
