Latest update
India Champions pulled out of their semi-final match against Pakistan Champions at the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025, scheduled for July 31 at Edgbaston, citing public sentiment following the Pahalgam terror attack. This marked the second cancelation against Pakistan during the tournament (after the group match boycott), and as a result, Pakistan Champions have advanced directly to the WCL final. The WCL organizers confirmed the cancellation, offered partial ticket refunds, and respected India’s decision.
