India coach Amol Muzumdar says handshake decision will be taken before Pakistan match
India coach says handshake call with Pakistan will be made before September 5 match.
India women's coach Amol Muzumdar said the team will settle the handshake question with Pakistan before their Asia Cup match on September 5. They open against Thailand in Dubai on Sunday, then meet Hong Kong on September 3.
Muzumdar said the players will be asked first, and the call will be made closer to the game. India last faced Pakistan in the 2024 Asia Cup final. Both sides sit in Group A for the 2026 tournament.

The handshake debate could still flare even if India's campaign opens with routine wins, because the Pakistan match is the only fixture that draws front-page attention outside the team bubble.
