Sarfaraz Ahmed Joins Pakistan Champions
Former Pakistan captain Sarfaraz Ahmed is set to make a comeback to limited-overs cricket as he joins the Pakistan Champions team for the second edition of the World Championship of Legends (WCL), scheduled to begin on July 18.
The 37-year-old wicketkeeper-batter will bring his extensive experience to the tournament, having led Pakistan to 11 consecutive T20I series wins against top teams like West Indies, Australia, New Zealand, England, and Zimbabwe. His inclusion in the Pakistan Champions squad adds to an already competitive lineup for the WCL, which features legendary cricketers from six nations: India, Pakistan, England, Australia, South Africa, and the West Indies.
Under Sarfaraz's captaincy, Pakistan won the 2017 ICC Champions Trophy, defeating India by 180 runs in the final. His leadership and winning mentality will be a significant asset to the Pakistan Champions team as they face England Champions in the opening match at Edgbaston Stadium in Birmingham. The WCL will feature teams of retired and non-contracted players representing their national teams, providing a unique opportunity for fans to see their favorite legends in action once again.
Sarfaraz's participation in the WCL marks his return to limited-overs cricket after a three-year hiatus. The team announced his participation through a social media post, touting him as a "captain, leader, and legend" who will bring his winning mentality to the team. With his experience and leadership, the Pakistan Champions are expected to be a strong contender in the tournament.
The World Championship of Legends is set to begin on July 18, and fans can expect an exciting series of matches featuring some of the greatest cricketers of all time. With Sarfaraz Ahmed on board, the Pakistan Champions are ready to take on the challenge and make their mark in the tournament.
