PCB Bans Players from WCL After India Forfeits Matches
After India chose not to play against Pakistan in the World Championship of Legends (WCL), the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) decided to ban its players from future WCL events.
The PCB said this was because the tournament's decisions weren't fair and were affected by things other than the game, like politics.
The PCB thought the WCL's apology wasn't sincere and decided they couldn't let their players participate anymore.
Meanwhile, it seems the WCL might also exclude Pakistan from future events.
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) banned its players from future World Championship of Legends (WCL) tournaments.
The ban followed India's forfeit of matches against Pakistan.
PCB cited the decision as unfair, influenced by non-cricketing factors, and lacking sporting fairness.

Sources indicated WCL's Indian promoters were considering excluding Pakistan.
