DUBAI: Pakistan’s cricket team on Saturday pulled out of its scheduled pre-match press conference ahead of Sunday’s high-stakes Asia Cup Super Four clash against India at the Dubai International Stadium.

The decision was officially confirmed today, although the team management gave no reason.

Pakistan had also skipped a pre-match press conference before their group-stage match against the United Arab Emirates earlier in the tournament. This marks the second time in the Asia Cup 2025 that the team has withdrawn from a scheduled media briefing.

The latest move comes in the backdrop of the “handshake controversy” that followed Pakistan’s earlier clash with India, which attracted considerable attention both on and off the field.
