Cricketing icons Eoin Morgan, Sir Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, and Ian Bell will headline the England Champions squad in the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL), scheduled in the UK from July 18 to August 2.
The England Champions lineup revives the nation’s golden era, with former internationals Liam Plunkett, Ravi Bopara, Chris Tremlett, and Samit Patel joining the four marquee names. Sanctioned by the ECB, the WCL brings back retired greats in a competitive T20 format.
“Leading England to World Cup glory was a defining moment,” Morgan said. “Playing WCL with legends I’ve shared the field with is a different kind of pride.”
Edgbaston, one of the key venues, will host several matches. CEO Stuart Cain called it “a celebration of greatness and a homecoming for our heroes.”
WCL founder Harshit Tomar noted, “This is where stories are retold and legends relive their prime.”
Team owner Praveen Sharma added, “We’re here to win and inspire a new generation.”
The WCL promises high-octane nostalgia, elite cricketing talent, and packed stadiums as England’s best return to home turf.
