Pakistan Champions await NOCs for WCL 2026 opener against Bangladesh
Summary

The Pakistan Champions were scheduled to begin their World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2026 campaign against Bangladesh Champions on October 3 in Sharjah. However, they have not received the necessary No-Objection Certificates (NOCs) from the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) due to ongoing disputes with tournament organizers over previous conflicts with India Champions. The PCB has expressed dissatisfaction with how past issues were handled, including match forfeits by India. As a result, fans are left uncertain about the participation of the Pakistan team in the tournament, with calls for resolution escalating as matches approach.
