World Championship Of Legends: India-Pakistan Clash Called Off Amid Players, Sponsor Boycott
World Championship: The much-anticipated India vs Pakistan clash at the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) has officially been called off, following strong objections from Indian players and a principal tournament sponsor.
The decision was announced by the tournament organisers, who issued a formal apology for "hurting sentiments" and "causing discomfort" to the Indian legends.
In a statement, WCL organisers said the India-Pakistan fixture was scheduled in the spirit of fostering goodwill, taking inspiration from a recent friendly volleyball match between the two nations. However, they acknowledged that the move backfired, creating discomfort among Indian players and sparking widespread backlash.
