In its bid to attract more attention the ICC has decided to appoint Indian Legend and Master Blaster Sachin Tendulkar one of the most followed cricketer as the Ambassador of the Cricket World Cup 2015.

He will have the responsibility of endorsing, promoting and supporting the spread of the world cup along with other initiatives and events organized by the ICC.

David Richardson the ICC Chief Executive said, “The ICC is delighted to once again have Sachin as an Ambassador for its biggest and most prestigious tournament.

On his appointment as the World cup ambassador Sachin said, “I am delighted and honoured to be appointed ICC Cricket World Cup Ambassador for the second successive time.

Tendulkar a retired cricketer now will miss the first world cup in the last couple of decades.
“After playing in the last six editions, the upcoming World Cup will be a different experience as I will follow it from the sidelines. It could probably be comparable to the ICC Cricket World Cup 1987 where I was a ball boy, enthusiastically cheering every ball, he said.

“The excitement of the World Cup grows with every new edition and this year’s host nations, Australia and New Zealand, are known for their sporting culture, great cricket facilities and knowledgeable crowds. Lifting the World Cup is every international cricketer’s quest and the tournament brings out the best of individuals and competing teams.

“The image of the champion team lifting the World Cup inspires many youngsters around the world and gives them a dream to chase – a dream which I fulfilled after 22 years of relentless pursuit by being part of the victorious Indian team in 2011.”
