India Vs Pakistan Champions, WCL: Squads, Streaming, Timings And All You Need To Know
Here's all you need to know about India and Pakistan's first competitive cricket clash in the World Championship of Legends after the Pahalgam attack. The India vs Pakistan clash in the 2025 World Championship of Legends (WCL) is more than just a game — it's a microcosm of the two countries, a powerful reminder of how sport can offer hope and healing, even in tense times, but not by being completely separate from the political landscape. This high-octane match marks the first India-Pakistan cricket encounter since the bloody conflict of May 2025, which ended with a ceasefire on May 10. The standoff still casts a shadow over diplomatic ties, but on the field at Edgbaston on July 20, cricket is being used to write a different story. India, led by Yuvraj Singh, features players who often lived in the shadows of the greats. Suresh Raina, Ambati Rayudu, Stuart Binny, and others get a rare chance to be in the spotlight again, without the pressures of selection or national expectations. For Yuvraj, who was never given a long run as skipper during his playing days, this captaincy is a redemption arc in itself. On the other side, Pakistan, captained by Mohammad Hafeez, brings together a team of familiar names like Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Umar Akmal, and Sharjeel Khan. Many of them have faced controversies or been pushed to the sidelines over the years, but the WCL gives them a clean slate—an opportunity to remind the world of their talent, not their troubles. Given the timing, this game carries emotional weight. And reports are circulating that some Indian players are pulling out of the match, which they would be justified in doing and praised for. It remains to be seen if this clash can strip the rivalry of its heavy political baggage and bring back the joy of watching India and Pakistan face off — purely as sport.

India Vs Pakistan, WCL Match Live Streaming: When And Where To Watch?
IND-C vs PAK-C World Championship of Legends Live Streaming Details: Fans can watch India Champions vs Pakistan Champions The World Championship of Legends (WCL), which was a runaway success in its debut edition, has returned with a bang. The second season opened with a thrilling match that saw Pakistan Champions edge past England Champions. Now, all eyes are on the much-anticipated showdown between arch-rivals India and Pakistan, set to take place on July 20 at Edgbaston. While excitement around the clash is sky-high, it comes against a backdrop of strained India-Pakistan relations. With diplomatic ties at an all-time low, there have been growing calls for India to boycott Pakistan in global sporting events. The Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) has yet to confirm India's participation in the upcoming Asia Cup. However, since the WCL is an independent tournament and doesn't fall under the BCCI's jurisdiction, the board has no control over player involvement. Despite rising tensions, the tournament organisers have opted to go ahead with the high-profile match, buoyed by last year's blockbuster response. However, not everyone is on board. The Indian team will be led by Yuvraj Singh and includes notable stars like Suresh Raina, Shikhar Dhawan, Irfan Pathan, and Yusuf Pathan. On the other side, Mohammad Hafeez will captain a formidable Pakistan side featuring Shahid Afridi, Shoaib Malik, Sohail Tanvir, and Kamran Akmal. With emotions running high and legendary names on both sides, the clash promises to be a spectacle, both on and off the field.
