Pakistan has released a promotional video ahead of its upcoming T20I series against Australia, which will be played in Lahore
The video highlights Pakistan as a welcoming host for Australian fans, but one scene has drawn attention for its messaging
Reports suggest the final moments of the promo refer to the earlier ‘handshake’ row involving India and Pakistan during global tournaments
The issue began during the Asia Cup 2025 when Indian players reportedly declined handshakes with Pakistani players following security concerns
Australia will play three day-night T20Is at Gaddafi Stadium on January 29, 31, and February 1, ahead of the T20 World Cup
After the series, Australia will head to India while Pakistan will be based in Sri Lanka for the ICC T20 World Cup matches
