Mumbai: The World Championship of Legends (WCL) will introduce a twist. In the event of a tie, matches will be decided by the classic bowl out format reminiscent of the early t20 setup instead of contemporary super overs. Teams will compete in this format.
The decision to adopt the “bowl out” method for resolving tied matches harks back to the early days of T20 cricket. This format sees bowlers aim to hit the stumps unguarded by a batsman. The World Championship of Legends will pay tribute to the rich history of cricket while offering fans a fresh alternative to the conventional tie-breakers utilized in modern cricket. It will transport cricket fans back to a more carefree era.
Harshit Tomar, the owner of WCL said, “2007, India vs Pakistan bowl out is still one of my favourite memories, hence we want to revive it and keep it very original.”
WCL is also introducing television presenter and actress Mandira Bedi as the official host.
“Moreover, we all know Mandira Ji is one of the most renowned and loved television host and we welcome her on board”, said Tomar
The World Championship of Legends, co-owned by Bollywood icon Ajay Devgn, will feature players from the past, showcasing their skills and passion for the game once more. The tournament is scheduled to take place from 3-13 July at the grounds of Edgbaston and Northamptonshire County Cricket Club in the UK.
