The Pakistan Cricket Board has taken a firm stand that has brought an abrupt halt to the Pakistan Champions’ campaign in the tournament. In an unexpected series of events, the board refused to grant No Objection Certificates to its players…
The Pakistan Cricket Board has withheld No Objection Certificates from its players, forcing the Pakistan Champions to withdraw completely from the World Championship of Legends 2026. The PCB demanded that Indian players issue a formal apology to the Pakistan squad before clearance would be granted. When tournament organizers refused to enforce this condition, the Shahid Afridi-led team was left unable to compete in the United Arab Emirates.
The demand follows the 2025 edition, during which India Champions boycotted matches against Pakistan Champions due to political friction. As a result of Pakistan's withdrawal from the tournament, scheduled fixtures against Bangladesh Champions, Australia Champions, and India Champions have all been cancelled.
