Pakistani cricketers will not receive clearance to participate in the upcoming World Championship of Legends, casting uncertainty over the squad’s involvement.
According to media sources, strict directives have been issued preventing any team from utilizing the Pakistan name or branding for the tournament. The development follows tensions from the previous season, during which the Indian team refused to face the Pakistan Champions squad.
The third edition of the tournament is scheduled to kick off on October 3 in the United Arab Emirates, featuring a roster under the Pakistan Champions banner, alongside a high-profile fixture initially slated against the India Champions in Dubai on October 10. However, ongoing administrative and regulatory hurdles threaten to block participation entirely.
