“At WCL, we have always believed in the power of sport to inspire and bring about positive change in the world. However, public sentiment must always be respected - after all, everything we do is for our audience. We respect the India Champions' decision to withdraw from the semi-finals, and we equally respect the Pakistan Champions' readiness to compete. Taking all factors into consideration, the match between the India Champions and the Pakistan Champions has been called off. As a result, Pakistan Champions will advance to the final," The statement from WCL read.
Several high-profile former Indian cricketers like Shikhar Dhawan, Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, Irfan Pathan, and Yusuf Pathan, had withdrawn from the semi-final and expressed their refusal tp play citing escalating geopolitical tensions following the deadly Pahalgam terror attack on April 22.
