Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi stated that Pakistan's teams will not back down from India, responding to perceived 'attitude' with a tit-for-tat approach. He mentioned Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif advised keeping cricket and politics separate, but Naqvi indicated a reciprocal response to any 'no-handshake' policy. These comments followed tensions during the U-19 Asia Cup final, which Pakistan won, and echoed issues from the senior Asia Cup.
