BIRMINGHAM (IANS)- The India vs. Pakistan clash at the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL) has been officially called off. The decision follows strong objections from Indian players and a principal tournament sponsor, leading to an apology from organizers for “hurting sentiments” and “causing discomfort” to the Indian legends.

The high-voltage World Championship of Legends clash between Pakistan and India was cancelled under dramatic circumstances on Sunday, and former Pakistan captain Shahid Afridi has pointed fingers - albeit indirectly - at one individual whom he labelled a "rotten egg".
