It may be recalled that Yasin refused to accept referee's ruling on a foul shot that he had played. The incident snowballed with the match being stopped before the issue could be resolved. Ferreira handed in a "protest" letter while the Pakistanis also announced their intention to follow suit against stoppage of the match.

Pakistan team manager Shahanaz Khan said: "We have too strong a feeling for India to make an issue of the incident. If it wasany other country, then we might have gone ahead with the protest. But we genuinely like India and since we enjoy a good relationship, we will not do anything to harm our friendship."
