Australia Champions have announced a star-studded squad for the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL), set to be played from July 18 to August 2, 2025.
Pace legend Brett Lee headlines is part of the squad, alongside power-hitter Chris Lynn and classy left-hander Shaun Marsh.
This year’s Australia Champions outfit also features performers like Ben Cutting, Moises Henriques, Peter Siddle, Nathan Coulter-Nile, and D’Arcy Short, giving them one of the most well-rounded and dangerous line-ups heading into the tournament.
For Lee, the emotions run deep. The 47-year-old spoke about the thrill of pulling on the Aussie colors again, this time in a tournament that combines the fire of competition with the camaraderie of old mates.
“Being part of WCL is an incredible opportunity to relive the adrenaline of top-level cricket,” said Lee.
“Representing Australia again, alongside some of my best mates, is something truly close to my heart. We’re coming with intent—to entertain and to dominate.”
Team owner Puneet Singh also struck a bold note ahead of the tournament, calling the Australia squad more than just a team.
“With Brett, Lynny, and Cutting leading the charge, we’re bringing back the fierce Australian spirit to WCL. Expect fireworks, passion, and pure cricketing brilliance,” Singh said.
Harshit Tomar, Founder and CEO of the World Championship of Legends, welcomed the Aussies’ announcement with high praise.
“Australia has always been a force in world cricket, and the WCL is proud to welcome back icons like Brett Lee and Chris Lynn,” Tomar said.
“With a squad stacked with power hitters and fiery pacers, the Australia Champions are set to be one of the most formidable sides this season.”
The second season of the WCL will see six legendary sides in action: Australia, Pakistan, India, England, South Africa, and the West Indies.
The tournament kicks off on July 18 at Edgbaston, with Pakistan Champions facing England Champions in the opener.
