The Asia Cup 2025 is over, but the India vs Pakistan dispute continues. First ‘Handshek controversy’ and now ‘Trophy controversy’ has shook the cricket world. Actually, the Women’s ODI World Cup 2025 has started from September 30, in which India defeated Sri Lanka by 59 runs in their first match. Now on October 5, India vs Pakistan match is going to happen again, where the handshake controversy may again come into the discussion.

In a single Asia Cup match, no Indian player joined hands with Pakistani players. Amidst this growing controversy, the question is whether the same will happen in the woman ODI World Cup? Now BCCI Secretary Devjit Saikia has used ‘Shatru Desh’ for Pakistan in a conversation with BBC.

Devjit Saikia has made such a statement on the BBC Stump Podcast, which has caused the whole controversy again. He said, “I cannot make any prediction, but our relationship with that enemy country is the same. Nothing has changed in the last one week.”

The BCCI Secretary did not say anything about whether the Indian team will join hands with Pakistani players on October 5. He definitely assured that Team India will not violate MCC’s guidelines in any way.

Devjit Saikia said, “The Indian team’s match will be played with Pakistan in Colombo, it will be followed by all the rules. I can only confirm it, which is written in all MCC guidelines. Whether it is a handshake, hugging, I cannot say anything on such a thing.”

India won the toss and chosen the first bowling. Hardik Pandya is not playing the final match. Arshdeep Singh and Harshit Rana have also been seated outside, while Rinku Singh has finally got a chance to play for the final match. On the other hand, the Pakistan team has not made any changes in their playing eleven. This is the first time in the 41-year history of the Asia Cup when India and Pakistan are face to face in the finals.

Why Hardik Pandya is not playing?

Hardik Pandya has not received much batting in the 2025 Asia Cup, but has been very effective in bowling. In fact, Hardik went out of the field due to the cramp after throwing an over in the Super-4 round match against Sri Lanka. He has not been able to recover from that injury, as a result he has to sit out of the finals.

Arshdeep Singh had allowed Sri Lanka to score only 2 runs in the super over in the last match. Still, he did not get a chance in the final-11 of the final. Rinku Singh will be playing the first match at the Asia Cup 2025 and Shivam Dubey has returned to the playing XI.

India’s playing XI: Abhishek Sharma, Shubman Gill, Suryakumar Yadav (captain), Tilak Verma, Sanju Samson (wicketkeeper), Shivam Dubey, Rinku Singh, Akshar Patel, Kuldeep Yadav, Jaspreet Bumrah, Varun Chakraborty

Pakistan’s playing XI: Sahibzada Farhan, Fakhar Zaman, Sam Ayub, Salman Aga (captain), Hussain Talat, Mohammad Haris (wicketkeeper), Mohammad Nawaz, Faheem Ashraf, Shaheen Afridi, Haris Rauf, Abrar Ahmed
