Edgbaston is set to host the highly anticipated World Championship of Legends (WCL) this summer, featuring legendary cricketers such as Yuvraj Singh, Shahid Afridi, and Kevin Pieterse, as well as retired and non-contract players from cricketing powerhouses England, India, Pakistan, Australia, the West Indies, and South Africa. The England & Wales Cricket Board (ECB) has approved the T20 league.
Zabawa Entertainment, a well-known Bollywood film and music production firm with roots in India and Dubai, created the league, and WCL is currently in advanced contract negotiations with cricket legends from the 1990s and 2000s. Notable individuals such as Indian all-rounder Yuvraj, known for hitting six sixes in an over during a T20 World Cup match in 2007, dynamic Pakistani all-rounder Afridi, who has one of the fastest ODI centuries, and England's cricket maestro Pietersen have committed to playing in the competition.
"The current announcement strengthens WCL's status as a top-tier platform for past cricketing champions, creating new opportunities for the league's development and global significance," stated Harshit Tomar, Director of Zabawa Entertainment. Our goal is to give sports fans all across the world the best enjoyment possible.

The Cricket Legends tournament
The competition, which promises exciting battles and amazing moments, is set to begin on July 3.
"Seeing some of the iconic figures from those games back at Edgbaston will be a pleasure," stated Stuart Cain, Chief Executive of Edgbaston. We are committed to making sure it has no negative effect on our current fixture obligations and doesn't degrade the quality of wickets. Our cooperation with the ECB and the organisers is still crucial.
The WCL shines brightly as cricket's luminaries are ready to take the hallowed grounds of Edgbaston; it promises not just a tournament but also a lasting chapter in the sport's history. This well-thought-out strategy guarantees an unparalleled display of cricket, ready to enthrall spectators across the globe.
