Sachin Tendulkar is the ICC's Global Ambassador for the Men's Cricket World Cup.



The Master Blaster, renowned for his remarkable feat of participating in six 50-over World Cups during his illustrious career, will grace the opening match at Ahmedabad's Narendra Modi Stadium with the Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy, signifying the commencement of the tournament.

Reflecting on this journey, Sachin Tendulkar, who transitioned from a ball boy in 1987 to a six-time World Cup participant and a 2011 World Cup winner, expressed, "World Cups have always held a special place in my heart. Winning the 2011 World Cup was the pinnacle of my cricketing journey. 

With numerous exceptional teams and players poised to compete fiercely in the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup 2023 here in India, I eagerly anticipate this remarkable tournament. Marquee events like the World Cup ignite aspirations in the minds of young individuals, and I hope this edition inspires young boys and girls to embrace sports and represent their nations at the highest level."


This colossal Cricket World Cup will also feature a diverse group of ICC ambassadors, including West Indies legend Vivian Richards, South Africa’s AB de Villiers, England's World Cup-winning captain Eoin Morgan, Australia's Aaron Finch, Sri Lanka's spin maestro Muttiah Muralitharan, New Zealand's Ross Taylor, India's Suresh Raina, Mithali Raj, and Pakistan's versatile all-rounder Mohammad Hafeez.

Claire Furlong, ICC General Manager of Marketing & Communications, stated, "Having Sachin as our Global Ambassador is a genuine honour as we celebrate the one-day format and prepare for what is anticipated to be the largest Men’s Cricket World Cup ever.

He is accompanied by nine other cricketing legends who will engage fans more closely with the action, and we are eagerly looking forward to it all."

These cricketing luminaries will provide their support and enhance the spectator experience by placing fans at the core of the action. They will bring fans closer to the game than ever before through interactions and will offer expert analysis via the ICC Online Media Zone.

Additionally, they will attend selected matches across the nation, heightening the anticipation surrounding the highly awaited World Cup.
