In a dramatic turn of events, Pakistan has pulled out of the Asia Cup, sources confirmed on Wednesday. The decision reportedly stems from a handshake row with India, leading to players being informed that no match will take place today.

The controversy adds another layer of tension to the high-profile tournament, which has already seen heated exchanges on and off the field between the two arch-rivals. Details of the incident remain unclear, but sources indicate that the fallout from the disagreement prompted Pakistan’s immediate withdrawal.

This development casts uncertainty over the tournament schedule and raises questions about how the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) will address the sudden exit.
