The India–Pakistan rivalry takes a new turn, this time, on the hockey turf. Pakistan’s Hockey Federation has ordered its players to avoid handshakes with India ahead of the Sultan of Johor Cup.

After months of drama that included the Asia Cup trophy tantrums and Mohsin Naqvi’s refusal to hand the trophy to India, one Pakistani team finally seems to be making sense. Rupha Ramani dives into how hockey’s quiet restraint stands in stark contrast to cricket’s chaos, and why Pakistan’s sporting institutions are battling more than just India; they’re fighting their own mindset.
