 "WCL 2025: Full schedule")
The World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 is officially underway, kicking off on July 18 with a thrilling lineup of T20 matches featuring some of the biggest names in cricket history. Six legendary teams—India, Pakistan, Australia, England, South Africa, and West Indies—have reunited under iconic leadership, with captains like Yuvraj Singh, Mohammad Hafeez, Brett Lee, Eoin Morgan, AB de Villiers, and Dwayne Smith bringing both star power and competitive edge. Hosted across top venues in England, the tournament runs until August 2, with league games followed by semi-finals and a grand finale at Edgbaston.

Despite this absence, WCL 2025 promises a nostalgic and action-packed experience, giving cricket fans worldwide a chance to relive the magic of past heroes competing once again in national colours.
