Chris Gayle and Usain Bolt have already become the goodwill ambassadors of the upcoming T20 World Cup. This time Yuvraj Singh also joined them. India’s World Cup-winning star has also been inducted by the ICC as a goodwill ambassador on Friday.
36 days before the start of the 2024 T20 World Cup, the ICC also felicitated Yuvraj, who hit six sixes in six balls in the 2007 World Cup. Having a star ambassador like him will undoubtedly be great for the World Cup.
Yuvraj, being the goodwill ambassador, said, ‘Some of my fondest memories are from playing in the T20 World Cup. Especially hitting six sixes in one over. So to be a part of such a big event is something that I am very excited about.’
‘West Indies is a very good place to play cricket. The spectators who come to watch the game there are completely unique. Besides, cricket has also spread in the United States. I am excited to be a part of such an extended World Cup.’
The India-Pakistan match in New York is undoubtedly going to be one of the biggest this year. It’s a real priority to see the best players play in a new stadium.’
The 2024 T20 World Cup will be held from June 1 to 29 in the United States and the West Indies. A total of 55 matches will be held in 9 venues with the participation of 20 teams.
