Indian team refuses to play WCL semi -finals, Pakistan gets walkover, final entry in final

WCL Semi-Finals 2025: This time in the World Championship of Legends (WCL 2025), the expectations of India-Pakistan clash have been destroyed. India Champions team has officially withdrawn the name from the tournament, due to which the Pakistan team has reached the finals directly without playing.

This decision has come at a time when India was decided in the semi -finals with Pakistan, but India made it clear that it will not take to play on the field against Pakistan under any circumstances.

Stress increased since Pahalgam attack

In April 2025, there was a terrorist attack in Pahalgam in Jammu and Kashmir, which shocked the entire country. The political and emotional pressure arising after the attack behind India’s decision is being considered. After the attack, the atmosphere against Pakistan was hot across the country, and the effect of that has also been seen in this tournament.

League match was also canceled

The match between India and Pakistan in the group stage of WCL was also canceled for this reason. At that time, many senior players like Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan and Yusuf Pathan refused to play. Now even before the semi -finals, India Champions have announced to withdraw from the tournament, refusing to play against Pakistan.

India won the title last season

This is the second season of WCL. In the first season, India Champions performed brilliantly and won the title by defeating Pakistan in the final. This time too, India’s team reached the semi -finals, but to avoid the disputed conflict, he said goodbye to the game.

Now who will fight Pakistan?

After India’s withdrawal, the biggest challenge before the organizers is how to choose the final opponent of Pakistan. Will West Indies or Australia Champions get a chance now? The organizers will have to answer this soon.
