Recent reports from Indian outlets claiming that Salman Ali Agha is being sacked as Pakistan’s T20I captain appear exaggerated—there’s nothing official from the PCB confirming the claims. What is real is the “handshake drama” that began during Asia Cup 2025: India’s Suryakumar Yadav reportedly shook hands with Agha in private, but refused to do so in public on camera, a refusal Agha described as disrespectful not just to Pakistan but to cricket itself.
He has spoken out forcefully, saying that people of all ages watch cricket and that players should act like role models; he asked what message is being sent if teams refuse the simple sportsmanship of a shake. Given that Agha has taken a clear stance criticizing India’s on-field behaviour, one must question whether the flood of sacking reports reflects legitimate critique of leadership, or whether there is an element of personal or political overreaction in the media coverage.

. Bit of a cheeky article, I think the writers are just trying to get attention knowing there’s not even any rumours of that.
, Atleat bring in some credible cricketer in discussion. This joker doesn't deserve a thread.
