India Champions will return under the captaincy of WC 2011 hero to defend their title.
Turning back time for some of cricket’s legendary players, the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 is around the corner. The WCL T20 2025 will kick off on July 18 with the England Champions facing the Pakistan Champions. India Champions, led by ODI World Cup 2011 hero Yuvraj Singh, will return to defend their title. They are scheduled to play their first match on 20 July against arch-rivals Pakistan Champions.
While tournaments like the IPL, BBL, SA20, ILT20, MLC, and more showcase high-voltage contests featuring emerging talent, the WCL 2025 brings veteran cricketers into the spotlight in the dynamic T20 format.
A total of six teams will compete in the league – India Champions, Pakistan Champions, England Champions, South Africa Champions, Australia Champions, and West Indies Champions. For India, star opener Shikhar Dhawan is set to play his debut season.
All matches will take place across four iconic venues in England. They are – Edgbaston (Birmingham), County Ground (Northampton), Grace Road (Leicester), and Headingley (Leeds).
