Indian legend Mohammad Azharuddin does not agree with the India vs Pakistan Hand pressure controversy
Although the Indian fans and various former cricketers seemed happy with India’s decision to stimulate a handshake with Pakistani cricketers, former captain Mohammad Azharuddin has opposed the idea and claimed that if India wants to protest, the game as a whole should be boycot.
Speaking with NDTV, he said: “I feel that there was nothing wrong with shaking hands. If you play the game, you might as well play everything, such as Shake Hands or whatever. I don’t know what the problem was. I really can’t understand it. But I don’t feel that there was something wrong to shake hands.”
“If you play in protest, you might not play just as well. It is not a point to play under protest. Once you have agreed once you said that you did not play Pakistan in Bilateral, whether it is ICC events or the Asia Cup, then you have to play with full intensity. Otherwise it is not necessary to play at all,” added Azharuddin.
