Monitoring Desk

MUMBAI: The International Cricket Council (ICC) has named legendary Indian cricketer Sachin Tendulkar as the Global Ambassador for the upcoming World Cup 2023, which is scheduled to begin on Oct 5.

Tendulkar, who represented India in six world cup events, would bring trophy to the stadium before the opening match between England and New Zealand, said media reports.

He will also formally announce the commencement of the mega cricket event.

Profile

Who could have predicted in the late 1980s that an 18-year-old lad with a proverbial baby bat in his hand would make it a magic wand and cast a spell on the entire world with flashing drives.

However much his detractors may say, the Little Master of yesteryears has proved himself a cricketing giant by all means.

Tendulkar has played an innings of great character; “a piper who made the bowlers dance to his tune.”
