Calling World Championship of Legends' (WCL) awarding of points to the forfeiting India Champions "tainted with hypocrisy and bias", the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Sunday (August 3, 2025) issued a blanket ban on future participation in the tournament. The decision comes after the 온라인카지노 side forfeited two games, including the semi-final, to Pakistan Champions owing to the cross-border tensions.

PCB's statement read: "..the cancellation was not based on cricketing merit, but rather on succumbing to a specific nationalistic narrative. This bias, masquerading as sensitivity, sends an unacceptable message to the international sporting community.

"The PCB can no longer condone participation in an event where the fundamental principles of fair play and unbiased administration are compromised by external pressures."
