The 2025 World Championship of Legends (WCL) match between Pakistan and India scheduled for July 20 was cancelled. Organizers attributed the cancellation to logistical complications and scheduling conflicts, while some reports cited the intransigence of Indian players as a contributing factor. Following this, Pakistan announced its squad for the upcoming One Day International (ODI) and Twenty20 (T20) series against the West Indies, marking the return of key players to the white-ball format. The team selection involved notable changes, with discussions around player positions including Saeem Ayub's uncertain place in the T20 squad and the exclusion of Sahibzada Farhan, which has sparked analysis on team strategy and player performance.
