Peter England Launches ‘League of Legends' with Cricket Icons

Peter England, the iconic menswear label from Aditya Birla Fashion and Retail Ltd., has launched a powerful new campaign titled 'The League of Legends', celebrating cricket's unmatched legacy with the help of Kapil Dev, Sir Vivian Richards, and Harsha Bhogle.
Timed with the IPL season, the campaign goes beyond the boundaries of sport to introduce 'The Gentlemen's League Collection', a cricket-inspired fashion line that fuses timeless style with legendary spirit.
The campaign features four cinematic films:
Two dramatized stories showcase Kapil Dev and Sir Vivian Richards mentoring young players, donning collection pieces that embody their legendary poise and strength.
Two heartfelt reaction films capture their emotional responses to tribute tees—the '83' and '79' shirts , celebrating their respective World Cup triumphs.
Harsha Bhogle's narration adds a rich, nostalgic layer to the storytelling.
Kapil Dev said, 'The '83 design brings back a flood of memories. Cricket teaches grace—this collection captures that perfectly.'
Sir Vivian Richards added, 'Cricket and confidence go hand in hand. That '79 tee? That's not a shirt—it's a legacy.'
Harsha Bhogle, now in his second season with the brand, shared, 'Cricket is storytelling. This campaign lets every fan feel that emotion.'
Anil S Kumar, CBO of Peter England, noted, 'Cricket is legacy. And this campaign is our tribute—to the legends and the style they inspire.'
The collection—featuring limited-edition polos and graphic tees—is now live across 240+ stores, IPL coverage, leading digital platforms, and on-ground brand activations.

This Tournament Is Very Important For...: Harmanpreet Kaur Eyes Maiden World Cup Title On Home Soil

Hosts India have announced their squad for the upcoming Women's ODI World Cup 2025, which is scheduled to be played from September 30 to November 2. Harmanpreet Kaur is set to captain India for the first time in the Women's ODI World Cup and she hopes to lead them to their maiden title. Overall, this is the fifth ODI World Cup for Harmanpreet as she looks forward to what is a very important next few months for her and her side. "Personally, this tournament is very important for me. This is a home World Cup. Home World Cups are special for every player. I have a lot of experience batting at No.4, I am just looking to contribute to the team," said Harmanpreet in the press conference. "We are really excited for the World Cup. We are having training camps. We are preparing ourselves mentally and physically," he added. A notable omission for India is Shafali Verma who also missed out on a spot in the recent ODI series against England. The opener had returned to the T20I side in the same series and was a part of the India 'A' side against Australia 'A'. However, the selectors have opted for stability as the team heads into this all-important tournament. "She is playing for India 'A' in Australia. She is a part of the system. We are keeping an eye out for her. The more she plays, the more experience she will gain for the future," the Indian captain said. "Our team did well in England. We have been working on this squad for a long time now. I think the team we have picked is the best, so we don't want to play around with the team ahead of the World Cup. We just want Shafali to keep playing and gain some experience," she added.

"The same team played in the England series and we have been playing together for a long time now. Team looks quite balanced to me and hopefully, in both - Australia series and the World Cup, we will play our best cricket," she said. India squad for World Cup: Harmanpreet Kaur (C), Smriti Mandhana (VC), Pratika Rawal, Harleen Deol, Jemimah Rodrigues, Richa Ghosh, Yastika Bhatia, Renuka Singh Thakur, Deepti Sharma, Sneh Rana, Sree Charani, Radha Yadav, Amanjot Kaur, Arundhati Reddy, Kranti Gaud.
