Legendary all‑rounder Shahid Afridi has expressed his confidence in the Pakistan Champions' ability to secure the World Championship of Legends (WCL) title, following his recent appointment as team captain.

"I’m hopeful we’ve got the talent and mindset to bring the trophy home,” Afridi said, adding that the squad’s blend of aggression and calm makes them formidable. With veterans like Mohammad Hafeez, Sarfaraz Ahmed and Shoaib Malik alongside explosives such as Afridi himself, the team strikes a notable balance between experience and flair.

As captain, Afridi emphasised the importance of unity and adaptability. “Every match we treat as a final,” he noted, stressing that match‑ups across batting, bowling and fielding will define their campaign. The veteran also mentioned how the tournament’s structure—facing tough opponents like India Champions and England Champions—demands sharp game planning.

Local analysts echo the sentiment, stating that Afridi’s aggressive leadership style could galvanise the side, particularly in tight moments.

Under Afridi’s captaincy, Pakistan Champions face their opening match on 18 July against England Champions, followed by a blockbuster encounter with India Champions on 20 July. These early fixtures will prove crucial in setting the tone for their title challenge.

If Afridi can balance his trademark attacking instincts with disciplined leadership, Pakistan Champions could be in an ideal position to clinch WCL 2025.
