Pakistan was barred from participating in the upcoming World Championship of Legends by the PCB. India boycotted the matches against Pakistan to respect national feelings.

A day before the match, the team withdrew, allowing its opponents to qualify directly for the final, where they lost to South Africa. The PCB released a statement Sunday criticizing WCL organizers for hypocrisy. The Mohsin Naqvi-led board said they must issue a blanket ban due to WCL organizers' behavior. “The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announces a blanket ban from World Championship of Legends. The PCB announced that its 79th BoG meeting, held virtually under Mohsin Naqvi's chairmanship, was disappointed by the WCL's appalling conduct of awarding points to a willfully forfeiting team and its hypocritical and biased press releases announcing the cancellation of the scheduled India vs. Pakistan legends matches.
