DUBAI: Ahead of the Asia Cup final, the customary trophy photoshoot between the Pakistan and India captains did not take place, it emerged on Sunday.
Indian skipper Suryakumar Yadav did not appear for the joint trophy shoot with Pakistan captain Salman Ali Agha. As a result, Salman posed alone with the trophy before the high-voltage clash.
Indian team management later told the Indian media that they had not been asked by the Asian Cricket Council (ACC) to attend any trophy shoot, insisting the event was never scheduled.
