The Pakistan cricket team arrived at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium ahead of the Asia Cup 2025 Super 4 clash against India, amid lingering “handshake drama” that has kept fans and analysts talking. The team’s arrival comes ahead of one of the most anticipated matches of the tournament, with tension between the two sides heightened by previous off-field incidents.
The “handshake drama” refers to earlier incidents in the tournament involving Indian captain Suryakumar Yadav and Pakistan skipper Salman Agha, as well as other moments involving officials and team interactions.

This backdrop added an extra layer of intensity as Pakistan arrived in Dubai.
