India Champions have refused to play against Pakistan Champions in the semi-finals of the World Championship of Legends (WCL). This match was to be held on Thursday. The Indian team says that they do not want to play any kind of match against Pakistan.

India Champions made it to the semi-finals by defeating West Indies Champions in just 13.2 overs on Tuesday. But they had already raised objections about the match against Pakistan. Earlier also the India-Pakistan match of the group stage was canceled because players and a main sponsor of the tournament protested.

According to media reports, a company named EaseMyTrip, which was the sponsor of the tournament, also distanced itself from the semi-final match. The company’s co-founder Nishant Pitti said that respecting the sentiments of the people of India, we are withdrawing from this match. According to him, “Terrorism and terrorism cannot go together.

Former Indian cricketers Suresh Raina and Shikhar Dhawan also said that they will not play against Pakistan. India did not have a good start in this tournament. They had to face defeat in the first three matches. They lost to South Africa, Australia and England. The group match against Pakistan was canceled due to rain. India reached the semi-finals only after winning against West Indies.

Let us tell you that in the group stage of this tournament, India did not play its match against Pakistan because many players decided to withdraw from that match. Shikhar Dhawan and Harbhajan Singh were the key players who started this boycott. Dhawan shared an old email on social media, in which he had already told the WCL organizers that in view of the ongoing tension between India and Pakistan, he would not play any match against Pakistan.
