Former England spinner Monty Panesar has left the Kashmir Cricket League (KPL 2021) in Pakistan. Monty tweeted that tensions between India and Pakistan over the Kashmir issue were rising due to the KPL, adding that he was out of the competition.

Pakistan has accused the BCCI of threatening foreign cricketers not to join the KPL. Pakistan has said that the BCCI has threatened foreign players participating in the KPL League not to enter India for any work related to cricket.

"I have decided not to participate in the KPL," Monty said. I have taken this decision due to the tension between India and Pakistan over the KPL over the Kashmir issue. I don't want to come in the middle of this stress. I feel very uncomfortable. '

He wrote on Twitter, "The BCCI is bringing its political agenda with Pakistan without any reason and trying to stop me from playing in the Kashmir Premier League." I have been threatened not to enter any job related to cricket in India. It's ridiculous. ' The BCCI has not issued any statement in this regard.
