On Wednesday, July 29, the semi-final encounter between the India Champions and Pakistan Champions in the ongoing World Championship of Legends (WCL 2025) was called off with immediate effect.
Notably, the Indian Champions had also earlier pulled out of the league match against the Pakistan Champions, citing the ongoing geopolitical situation. With Indian players pulling out of the semi-final, Pakistan Champions will now make it through to the grand finale of the campaign.
Moreover, the official sponsor of the WCL 2025 season, EaseMyTrip, had also decided to pull out of the match, stating that it doesn’t support or promote any match that includes Pakistan.
"Despite entering into a 5-year sponsorship agreement with the World Championship of Legends (WCL) two years ago, our stance has always been clear - EaseMyTrip will not be associated with or participate in any WCL match involving Pakistan,” EaseMyTrip’s statement read.
"We proudly continue to support the India Champions and stand firmly by our team. However, as a matter of principle, we do not support or promote any match that includes Pakistan. This position was communicated unambiguously to the WCL team from the beginning. EaseMyTrip supports Team India, but will not engage in any match featuring Pakistan,” the statement further read.
It’s important to note that the winners of the second semi-final between the Australian Champions and the South African Champions will lock horns with the Pakistan Champions in the grand finale, scheduled to take place on Sunday, August 2.
Notably, the BCCI has been facing severe heat since the announcement of the Asia Cup 2025 schedule, which involves a fixture between India and Pakistan on September 14. Moreover, the women’s teams are also scheduled to take on each other in the ICC Women’s ODI World Cup fixture on October 6.
