The Universe Boss, Chris Gayle, captain once again for the 2025 season, stays true to his promise shared as quoted from a press release by the WCL, 'Last year, I promised the fans that this season would be greater--and here we are. I'm back as captain of the West Indies Champions, playing alongside my brothers Bravo and Pollard. With this squad, expect nothing less than fireworks.

Dwayne Bravo, one of T20's greatest all-rounders with 631 wickets across 582 matches, added, 'It's great to be representing the West Indies once again - I'm incredibly excited to play with and against good friends and cricketing legends. Polly and I have been good friends for such a long time. Now, we represent our nation once more in the World Championship of Legends.'

Kieron Pollard, former West Indies captain and one of the most powerful T20 batters in the world, said, 'We played together for many years for West Indies and in franchise cricket, it's nice to be able to do that once again. For me too, coming back feels special. To once again wear the colours of West Indies Champions and compete with legends is something I couldn't pass up.'

Ajay Sethi, Owner of the West Indies Champions, said, 'It's like reliving history. Chris, Bravo and Pollard returning define the golden era of West Indies cricket. These three have been the face of West Indies T20 success for years. Seeing them walk out in maroon again is emotional for fans and the cricketing world. This is not just a comeback; it's a celebration of legacy.'
