The rising tension between the two teams, India and Pakistan, has arisen since the 2025 Asia Cup. The two boards have drawn cross-boundary politics and a warlike situation into the game of cricket.
Wasim Akram said, "What I don't like in cricket is politics. I'm sorry, Sports Should be away from politics."
The BCCI had then said that they had nothing to do with this move, as the WCL is a privately owned championship and is not under their control.
Akram calls for unbiased treatment of players from all nations
The Hundred is a global competition that draws players from around the globe for participation in a 100-ball tournament featuring several teams from cities across India. Several of those franchises have now been taken over by Indian owners.
Hence, Akram has asked players from every nation to be picked unbiased of their origin. "In league cricket, pick every player from any nation; Be brave!! Be bigger!! But that’s not happening, unfortunately."

Pakistani players are not allowed to participate in the IPL
Pakistan players have been allowed to participate in global franchise tournaments, unlike the Indian players. The BCCI forbids its players from participating in any league outside India when they are bound to the BCCI through contracts.
The franchises have been privatized, and several Indian players are on board to take over the teams, which might limit the participation of Pakistani players, especially after the recent feuds between the two boards, BCCI and PCB.
