Former Indian cricketer Yuvraj Singh has announced that he will be the captain of India at the World Championship of Legends this July in the UK. This is the second season of the exciting tournament, and Yuvraj previously led India to victory in its first edition.

The India Champions team, owned by Sumant Bahl, Salman Ahmed, and Jaspal Bahra, will return to Edgbaston to compete against top players from Australia, the West Indies, England, Pakistan, and South Africa. Sumant Bahl shared, “Winning the first edition against Pakistan was a dream come true for us. We are excited about the new season and hope to win again with an even better team.”
