The highly anticipated World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 match between Pakistan and India, set to be played at Edgbaston, Birmingham, has been cancelled after several top Indian players withdrew at the last minute. Reports suggest Shahid Afridi’s inclusion in the Pakistan squad triggered tensions, leading Indian stars like Harbhajan Singh, Yusuf Pathan, Irfan Pathan, and Suresh Raina to opt out. The sudden withdrawals drew criticism from fans and left the India Champions squad short of key players, increasing pressure on remaining stars like Yuvraj Singh and Shikhar Dhawan.
