Salman Ali Agha claims Pakistan cricket team to donate Asia Cup 2025 match fees to civilians affected by India’s ‘Operation Sindoor’

When the dust settled in the Asian Cup final, India stood as justified champions, beat Pakistan three times in the tournament, including five small gates, not once. Nevertheless, instead of thinking about the performance of his team, Salman Ali Agha, the captain of Pakistan, chose to turn the spotlight to another place, to drag politics into crices, and to target the thorns in India.

At a press conference after the match, AGHA claimed that the Pakistan team would donate the match fees to “killed Pakistani civilians” during the Sindoor operation in May.

“As a team, we donate our match fees to our affected civilians during the ‘Indian attack’.” He said.
Agha continued to accuse the Indian captain Surekumar Yadav of refusing to open it to the public.

“At the beginning of the tournament, he stuck hands with me in special hands … But they don’t shake our hands when they’re in front of the cameras.

While the Indian players moved through coolness and discipline throughout the tournament, Pakistan’s captain was interested in more gestures than the bad show on the field. But the truth is: India, who played with professionalism, fulfilled his commitments and proudly lifted the cup, revealed Pakistan’s repeated defeats. Unlike Agha’s suffering, the Indian team allowed their crickets to speak, and shows sportsmanship where it was most important.

“If a child is watching in India or Pakistan, we do not send them a good message… People think of us as role models, but if we treat it, we do not inspire them.”

When Agha talked about disrespect, the score card told his own story: Pakistan lost three encounters against India, including the final. Instead of accepting responsibility, the Pakistani captain chose the accusation and theater.
