Overview

• An Australian Kayo Sports video featuring Josh Hazlewood, Glenn Maxwell, Mitchell Marsh, Alyssa Healy and others mocking India’s no-handshake stance was posted and then deleted, with clips still circulating online.
• The segment showed players proposing gag greetings, with Sophie Molineux using insulting gestures including a middle finger, as teammates laughed at the skit.
• After Pakistan’s 93-run Test win over South Africa in Lahore, commentators Ramiz Raja and Aamer Sohail quipped on-air about teams shaking hands, calling the tradition gentlemanly and saying it had been “getting out of hand.”
• Fans pushed back on social media, trolling the commentators and debating the prolonged sportsmanship dispute as the Australian clip drew fresh reactions.
• The flare-up traces to India refusing handshakes with Pakistan multiple times at the Asia Cup, prompting a PCB complaint and a match referee’s ‘miscommunication’ apology, with the post-final trophy handover involving ACC chief Mohsin Naqvi still unresolved.
