Now the question is, is the handshake necessary?
Is it necessary to handshak, what does the ICC rule say? Actually it is not individual. There is no mention in the Rules of the International Cricket Council (ICC) that it is necessary to do a handshake. The umpire and the players do the handshake only after the match or after the match keeping in mind the sporting spirit. Apart from cricket, this tradition is also seen in other sports.
At the same time, according to Article 2.1.8 of the ICC’s Code of Conduct, such a behavior is considered to harm the game spirit and to harm the reputation of the game. It has been lying in Level-1 and Level-2. Level-1 offense (crime) can be released by warning or fines up to $ 2,000. At the same time, if there is a case of Level-2, 100 % fine of match fees can be imposed and demerit points can be found. A player’s account is also banned for some matches to submit four or more demerit marks within 24 months.
