New Delhi [India], February 15: The cricket world is set for an unparalleled convergence of talent as five of the sport’s most iconic figures—Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, Shahid Afridi, Chris Gayle, and AB de Villiers—confirm their participation in Season 2 of the World Championship of Legends (WCL).
This season introduces an innovative fan engagement program, Live With The Legends (LWL), providing cricket enthusiasts worldwide an exclusive opportunity to join these legendary players on a 16-day, all-expenses-paid tour of the UK. In a groundbreaking twist, these cricket icons will not only compete but also serve as mentors in this immersive fan experience, bringing fans closer to the game like never before.
The WCL, the only ECB-approved league in its category, is offering 12 selected fans the chance to share living spaces with cricket legends, gain behind-the-scenes access to team preparations, attend official events, and even interact one-on-one with their heroes. The program includes VIP access to matches, professional photo sessions, signed memorabilia, and unforgettable match-day celebrations.
The selection process consists of three rounds, with the first round running from February 15 to March 15, requiring participants to complete a 15-minute cricket knowledge assessment. Successful candidates will then move to the second round (March 16 to April 25), where they will submit a one-minute video showcasing their passion for the sport.
Harshit Tomar, CEO and Founder of WCL, emphasized the groundbreaking nature of this initiative: “Cricket has always been a game of passion and legacy. With Live With The Legends, we are taking fan engagement to an unprecedented level by giving them the chance to live the experience of a professional cricketer. This initiative is a testament to WCL’s commitment to celebrating the sport and its greatest ambassadors.”
Registrations are open from February 7 to March 15 on the official WCL website, offering cricket fans from across the globe a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to interact with legends like Yuvraj Singh, Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Shahid Afridi, Brett Lee, Chris Gayle, Moeen Ali, AB de Villiers, and other greats of the game.
