Why did PCB block Pakistan Champions WCL entry?
PCB denied NOCs after demanding an apology from Indian players, leading to Pakistan Champions' WCL withdrawal.
The PCB refused to issue NOCs for Pakistan Champions to play in the World Championship of Legends 2026. Pakistan Champions have withdrawn from the tournament as a result. The decision follows the board's demands for an apology from Indian players over past matches.
DNA India reported that Pakistan Champions may return after receiving clearance but have attached conditions related to Team India. The withdrawal comes after last season's India-Pakistan controversy in the competition. No India clash is confirmed at this stage.
Shaun Tait replaced Ashley Noffke as Pakistan's white-ball bowling coach earlier this week. The change occurred after Noffke stepped down following 16 months in the role.
