Harbhajan Singh, Suresh Raina Excited Ahead Of World Championship Of Legends Participation

The tournament, set to kick off on July 3 at the Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham, UK, brings some of the greatest players of the game back to the cricket field.

"I am excited to join Indian Champions in WCL," Harbhajan Singh said.

With other legends such as Yuvraj Singh, Shahid Afridi, Brett Lee, Ian Bell, Daren Sammy, etc. set to be on the field, the World Championship of Legends promises to invoke nostalgia among fans.

"Things are going in the perfect direction, getting ECB (England and Wales Cricket Board) approval, huge response for ticket sales, and now getting respected brands as sponsors. It strengthens the structure of WCL," added the legendary off-spinner who claimed over 400 Test wickets for India.

Singh's sentiment was echoed by Raina, who stated, "I'm thrilled to join India Champions in WCL... Can't wait to get back on the field alongside other cricketing legends and compete at Edgbaston. See you all there."

Apart from India Champions five more teams will be competing at the event: Australia Champions, Pakistan Champions, England Champions, South Africa Champions, and West Indies Champions.

This announcement comes as EaseMyTrip, a leading Indian travel platform, has been announced as the presenting partner of the upcoming World Championship of Legends.

Harshit Tomar, the founder and CEO of the World Championship of Legends, talked about the significance of this partnership and said that he was confident that it will help the WCL strengthen.
