Australia Champions have unveiled their squad for the 2025 World Championship of Legends (WCL), with iconic names like Brett Lee, Chris Lynn, and Shaun Marsh spearheading the lineup. The tournament runs from July 18 to August 2 in the United Kingdom and promises a festival of cricket nostalgia and explosive T20 action.
Australia Champions squad packed with firepower
The 2025 squad features a balanced mix of big-hitting batters, experienced bowlers, and versatile all-rounders. In addition to Lee, Lynn, and Marsh, the squad includes Moises Henriques, Ben Cutting, Nathan Coulter-Nile, Peter Siddle, D’Arcy Short, Dan Christian, Stephen O’Keefe, Callum Ferguson, Ben Dunk, and Rob Quiney. Together, they bring a wealth of experience and the classic aggressive Australian flair to the WCL.
Brett Lee’s return electrifies fans
Former Australian speedster Brett Lee expressed his excitement: “Being part of WCL is an incredible opportunity to relive the adrenaline of top-level cricket. Representing Australia again, alongside some of the best mates, is something truly close to my heart. We’re coming with intent—to entertain and to dominate.”
Lee, Australia’s fourth-highest Test wicket-taker with 310 wickets and 380 ODI wickets, retired from international cricket in 2012. His presence adds weight to the WCL’s nostalgic yet competitive spirit.
Team vision and leadership
Team owner Puneet Singh emphasized the legacy behind the squad: “This is more than just a team—it’s a statement. Australia Champions have been built with legends who defined generations. With Brett, Lynny, and Cutting leading the charge, we’re bringing back the fierce Australian spirit to WCL. Expect fireworks, passion, and pure cricketing brilliance.”
