No apology, no handshakes from Indian players: Is this why PCB denied NOCs for WCL 3? Pakistan Champions
Quick source take
The Pakistan Champions team withdrew from the World Championship of Legends Season 3 after the Pakistan Cricket Board refused to issue necessary NOCs. According to a PTI report, the board demanded written apologies and handshake assurances regarding previous fixtures, which the WCL management rejected. The dispute stems from the 2025 tournament when India Champions declined to play against Pakistan.
