Cricket and concerts? Say less! Pakistani music icon Atif Aslam is about to bring the house down at the World Championship of Legends (WCL) opening ceremony in Birmingham this July. Get ready for a night of killer vocals and cricket nostalgia at Edgbaston Stadium on July 18—right before the England Champions vs. Pakistan Champions tournament opener.
Cricket Legends + Atif = Ultimate Vibe
WCL is the ultimate T20 showdown featuring retired and non-contracted cricketers from six cricket-loving nations—Pakistan, India, Australia, South Africa, West Indies, and England. Last year’s India vs. Pakistan final at Edgbaston had fans on the edge of their seats, and this year’s edition promises even more fireworks.
Atif’s Got That Cricket Energy
We all know Atif Aslam as the voice behind some of the biggest anthems, but fun fact—he wanted to be a pro cricketer before music took over! The guy was a fast bowler in his school days. Even now, his love for the game runs deep. He’s already rocked PSL anthems and recently dropped Jeeto Bazi Khel Ke, the official song for ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Now, he’s about to bring that same fire to WCL.
England, Are You Ready?
With Atif setting the stage and cricket legends bringing their A-game, WCL 2024 is shaping up to be pure entertainment gold. The action runs from July 18 to August 2, with 17 matches at four major venues—Edgbaston (Birmingham), Headingley (Leeds), Grace Road (Leicester), and Northamptonshire CCC Ground. And yes, the grand finale is back at Edgbaston on August 2.
Mark your calendars—because this is going to be an iconic mix of music, cricket, and major vibes! 🎤🏏🔥
