Best of cricket mascots: 10 Instances when Mascots took center stage in cricket

Two Mascots for the 2023 World Cup

The upcoming ICC World Cup 2023 will be played in India as a solo host for the first time and has two mascots. The mascots were unveiled during an event in Gurugram in India in the presence of the captains of the reigning U19 World Cup Champions, Yash Dhull and Shafali Verma. One is a blue colored male character carrying a bat and another is an Orange colored female character with a ball in her hand.

The male and female mascots, who originated from a distant cricket utopia called the Crictoverse, represent distinct traits that stand as symbols of both gender equality and diversity. The female character’s pinpoint accuracy at throwing fireballs at lightning speed from a turbo-powered arm leaves even the boldest batters in awe. She wears a belt adorned with six cricket orbs, each strategically prepared for game-changing tactics, and embodies an exceptional fast bowling prowess. 

The male mascot is the presentation of sub-zero coolness and high-voltage batting prowess. Every shot, whether it be a stealthy finesse or a seam-smashing six, reverberates with an exhilarating energy that enthrals spectators. His electric bat and wide range of shot options heighten the drama, lighting up the scene and electrifying the crease with each shot he plays.
