WCL 2025 ENG vs PAK Live streaming: When and where to watch the match, date, venue, squads and more

The much-awaited World Championship of Legends (WCL) 2025 is all set to kick off on July 18, with the opening clash featuring England Champions vs Pakistan Champions at Edgbaston, Birmingham. Cricket fans are in for a nostalgic treat as iconic players from the past return to the field for this unique tournament.

Star-studded showdown: Afridi vs Morgan

The inaugural match brings together two high-profile captains — Shahid Afridi leading the Pakistan Champions and Eoin Morgan at the helm for England Champions. While Pakistan had an impressive run in the first edition—finishing second in the points table and reaching the final—they narrowly missed the title, falling short against the India Champions.

In contrast, the England Champions had a disappointing campaign last season, managing just one win out of five games and ending up at the bottom of the standings. With a fresh start and revamped energy, the English side will be looking to redeem themselves this time around.
