Joining this powerhouse line-up are stalwarts like Liam Plunkett, Ravi Bopara, Samit Patel, Chris Tremlett and more, forming a squad that perfectly blends strategic brilliance and firepower.

"Leading England to World Cup glory was a defining moment in my career - but playing in WCL with legends I’ve shared the field with is a different kind of pride. We’re bringing back memories and making new ones. England Champions are here to compete, entertain and win," Morgan said.

Praveen Sharma, Owner of England Champions, added,
