The Indian Cricket Board and Sourav Ganguly faced some backlash as Herschelle Gibbs was named in the World Giants team for the upcoming Legends Cricket League. Gibbs had earlier accused the Indian Cricket Board for putting pressure on him to not play the Kashmir Premier League. The league was in question due to its links with Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan.

Now, the organizers of the upcoming Legends Cricket League have made a U-turn on their decision and removed Gibbs from the World Giants team. The former South African batter has now been replaced by Shane Watson from Australia.
