LAHORE: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) is set to decide today (Wednesday) whether the Green Shirts will continue in the ongoing Asia Cup 2025, following the handshake row with match referee Andy Pycroft after the India clash.

The announcement is expected ahead of the national side’s final group-stage clash against the United Arab Emirates (UAE) at Dubai International Cricket Stadium.

The controversy arose after Pakistan and India captains skipped handshake at the toss during their September 14 Asia Cup 2025 clash, an omission reportedly directed by Andy Pycroft.
