The Indian players refused to shake hands with their Pakistani counterparts. “I played U16 cricket in 2007, and I never saw any teams saying no to a handshake. Even when the relations between the two countries were hit hard, the players still shook hands,” Agha said.

“India and Pakistan games put pressure on the players. We lost the last two matches because we made mistakes,” he added.
The Men in Blue are undefeated in the tournament, but Agha mentioned that both teams will be under pressure. “We don’t care about the Indian media, as for us, it is about doing the basics right. Both teams will be under pressure.”
Agha also opined on his batting failures. “I haven’t been at my best, and my strike rate hasn’t been up to the mark. It is not necessary to score runs at a strike rate of 150, but to play according to the demands of the game,” he concluded.
