England Champions announced squad for World Championship of Legends 2025

Cricket is set to relive its golden days as the World Championship of Legends (WCL) returns with even greater fervor. Among the highlights of Season 2 is the much-anticipated return of some of England’s most iconic cricketing figures—Eoin Morgan, Sir Alastair Cook, Moeen Ali, and Ian Bell—who will don the jersey of the England Champions. These legends, as part of England's cricketing greatness over the years, are about to bring their experience and magic to the shortest format once again.

The England Champions team is supported by the likes of Liam Plunkett, Ravi Bopara, Samit Patel, and Chris Tremlett—all of whom, in addition to experience, possess the potent combination of tactical thinking and match-winning ability. Speaking on this exciting return, former England white-ball captain Eoin Morgan shared, “Leading England to World Cup glory was a defining moment in my career—but playing in WCL with legends I've shared the field with is a different kind of pride. We're bringing back memories and making new ones. England Champions are here to compete, entertain, and win.”

Adding to the enthusiasm, Praveen Sharma, Owner of England Champions, remarked, "We're proud to field a team that defines English cricket's golden era. These legends shaped an entire generation of cricket, and now, they're back on home soil—where it all began. We're here to win and to inspire." His sentiments echoed the larger purpose of this league: to honor cricketing excellence while entertaining fans across the globe.
