The World Championship of Legends 2025 (WCL 2025), a T20 tournament featuring retired cricket legends from six major nations, began on July 18 in England and will conclude on August 2, with matches held at iconic venues including Edgbaston and Headingley. High-profile former players such as Yuvraj Singh, Chris Gayle, Shahid Afridi, AB de Villiers, and Brett Lee are participating, drawing both nostalgia and excitement. India Champions, the defending champions, previously saw standout performances from Ambati Rayudu and Yusuf Pathan. The tournament is being broadcast globally on platforms like Star Sports, Willow TV, and FanCode. Suresh Raina made headlines by omitting MS Dhoni and Virat Kohli from his all-time World XI.
