The former players and stars who participated in the competition have expressed a wide range of opinions in response to the cancellation of the World Championship of Legends match between India Champions and Pakistan Champions.

It has been a contentious choice, with many Indian players quitting and refusing to participate in the match, which resulted in its cancellation on the eve of the game at Edgbaston. However, the players on the other teams are still there, trying to make it through the competition and complete their tournament duties.

In response to reporters at a press conference, Brett Lee, the captain of the Australia Champions, shared his position on the matter, maintaining neutrality, expressing optimism for a favorable conclusion to a tense situation, and declaring that he has a strong bond with both nations participating in the competition.

"It's a difficult query. However, I will honestly state that I love India and Pakistan. Thus, I hope that they may use discretion in their interactions with Australia. Australia's renowned quick bowler, who participated in a rain-affected match against England in their tournament opener against Australia Champions, said this.

Brett Lee places a high priority on finishing the entire competition

Lee also insisted that the most crucial point for all teams and players to remember is that this competition goes beyond those two clubs and that maintaining the momentum throughout the remainder of WCL 2025 should be the main focus.

"But most importantly, we are here on a tournament. Thus, South Africa vs. India vs. Australia. We are inclusive. Therefore, what happened last night is what occurred. The pacer explained that the players wanted a clean and simple break from the circumstance so that the competition might continue smoothly overall.

In the first game of the season, which was also the tournament opener against England, Pakistan Champions had triumphed in a last-over thriller at Edgbaston. India's opening game was scheduled to be against Pakistan, but instead they will begin their season on Tuesday night at Northampton's County Ground against AB de Villiers' South Africa Champions.
