India Champions have announced a star-studded squad for the second season of the World Championship of Legends (WCL), which will be held later this month.
The defending champions, who won the inaugural edition of the tournament, will once again be led by legendary all-rounder Yuvraj Singh. The 16-member squad includes big names from Indian cricket such as Shikhar Dhawan, Suresh Raina, Harbhajan Singh, and Irfan Pathan.
