“He never told me that such a thing happened in the past, that two teams that played cricket did not shake hands. I have always heard that such a thing never happened on a cricket field. India and Pakistan also played earlier when the relationships between the two countries were even worse.
Salman Agha further said that both India and Pakistan will be under pressure in the final, and they would do their utmost to beat the men in blue in the Summit collision. He said:
