PCB issues ban on ‘Pakistan' name in private cricket after WCL 2025 fiasco: Report

Following the embarrassment faced by the Pakistan Legends side in the World Championship of Legends, the Pakistan Cricket Board has reportedly decided to ban all private cricket leagues from using the country's name, according to a recent report. The decision by the PCB comes shortly after India Champions refused to play with their Pakistani counterparts in the semi-final of the tournament in Birmingham. Prior to the semi-final clash, Indian players like Yuvraj Singh, Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan and Harbhajan Singh had also opted out of the league stage match against the arch-rivals. The cricketers attributed the decision to the rising geopolitical tensions between the two countries, especially in the wake of the Pahalgam terror attack and the ensuing Operation Sindoor launched by the Indian armed forces. With India boycotting the semi-final clash against Pakistan, the neighbours had qualified for the final match. If a report by Telecom Asia Sport is to be believed, the Pakistan Legends side has been allowed to play the final match against South Africa on Saturday, but the PCB has made it clear that no future teams or leagues will be permitted to use the 'Pakistan' name without formal clearance by the cricket board. The decision was reportedly taken by the PCB after an emergency meeting of the Board of Directors after India Champions refused to take the field twice against Pakistan. 'The decision was taken after a detailed discussion in the Board of Directors meeting on Thursday. The high-level authorities felt Indian players refusing to play Pakistan in the WCL's second edition twice was hurtful to the name of the country," quoted a source as saying. 'Going forward, no private organisation will be allowed to use the country's name in any capacity unless the PCB verifies the league's legitimacy and reputation. All violators will face legal action,' it added. Mint could not independently verify the report. After the cancellation of the semi-final match, WCL had issued a statement writing, '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,' the WCL statement read. '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,' it added.

Irfan Pathan Hails Mohammed Siraj, Prasidh Krishna For Brilliance With Ball In Oval Test

Former Indian cricketer Irfan Pathan on Friday lauded pacers Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna for their four-wicket hauls against England on the second day of the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy at The Oval. Siraj was the standout performer, dismissing England skipper Ollie Pope, world No.1 Test batter Joe Root, Jacob Bethell and Harry Brook. Siraj returned with figures of 4/62, while Krishna also impressed with a spell of 4/80. Akash Deep contributed with a wicket as well. Praising the Indian pace duo, Pathan wrote in a post on X, "When you give the responsibility of leading the pack to Mohammed Siraj, he delivers differently. And those four wickets will do a world of good to Prasidh Krishna. Siraj also achieved a personal milestone by completing 200 international wickets across all formats. In 101 matches, he has taken 203 wickets at an average of 28.94 and an economy rate of 4.11, with best figures of 6/15 against Australia. Siraj is the most wicket-taker in the ongoing England series; he has grabbed 18 wickets in five fixtures, at an average of 25.23 and an economy of 3.06, with best figures of 6/70. Coming to the match, Yashasvi Jaiswal ensured India ended the second day on a strong note. At the end of the day's play, India was 75/2, with Jaiswal (51*) and night-watchman Akash Deep (4*) unbeaten. They lead by 52 runs. In their first innings, England had scored 247 in response to India's 224. However, Prasidh Krishna (4/62) and Mohammed Siraj (4/86) bowled extremely well to deny England a massive lead and triggered a batting collapse. The final session of the day kicked off with England being 215/7, with Harry Brook (33*) joined by Gus Atkinson, a capable lower-order hitter.
