Just a day after Pakistan skipper missing from the poster of T20 World Cup 2026 tickets, shared by International Cricket Council (ICC), Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) also came up with a new 'triggering move' which might not go well with PCB. 

It happened when BCCI shared a picture of 'toss moment' before the game between India U19 and Pakistan U19 in the ongoing U19 Men's Asia Cup 2025. In the picture shared by the Indian cricket board on their official X handle, it was only the Indian skipper Ayush Mhatre in the frame, with Pakistan skipper Farhan Yousaf missing from the image. 

Here's a look at the post shared by BCCI on X


Pakistan had been at the receving end of such kind of omissions in the past as well, when their skipper's picture wasn't seen in the promotional events of the Asia Cup 2025. Now, it will be quite interesting to see if Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) comes up with any kind of official statement on these moves taken by ICC and BCCI. 

Aaron George stabilizes India U19 innings after quick wickets

Speaking of the current action of the game, Pakistan U19 won the toss and have asked India to bat first. India U19 have scored 146 runs for the loss of four wickets in 26 overs, with Aaron George and Abhigyan Kundu there in the middle. George has scored a brilliant half-century, still moving further at the individual score of 65 runs off 69 balls, with nine fours and a six. 

Earlier in the innings, skipper Mhatre also played a quick knock of 38 runs off just 25 balls, hitting four fours and three sixes. Mohammad Sayyam has scalped two wickets, alongside Niqab Shafiq's economical spell of 'two wickets for just 26 runs in six overs'. so far. 

Notably, both India and Pakistan are coming off the massive wins in their respective campaign openers against UAE U19 and Malaysia U19. India defeated UAE by 234 runs in the tourament, followed by the boys in green outplaying the Malaysia by a huge margin of 97 runs. 

Both teams will be eyeing winning this game to stay at the top of the tournament's points, earning four points with the second consecutive wins.
