Here is Pakistan’s likely squad for the World Championship of Legends 2025.
After falling agonizingly short in last year’s final, Pakistan’s cricket legends are ready to have another crack at glory as the second season of the World Championship of Legends (WCL) T20 League comes closer.
The tournament, which brought together cricketing icons from different nations, will return this July for an encore, once again showcasing some of the greatest names of the modern era in a celebration of nostalgia and competitive cricket.
Led by Younis Khan, the Pakistan Champions were one of the standout sides of the World Championship of Legends in 2024.
They steamrolled opponents in their path until India ultimately prevailed in a tense title match, chasing down 157 with five wickets in hand.
That loss has lingered with the squad, fueling a collective determination to finish the job this time.
