Ahead of the Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 jointly hosted by the West Indies and the United States of America, the International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced the legendary Indian all-rounder, Yuvraj Singh as their brand ambassador for the tournament which is set to begin on June 1. In the inaugural edition of the T20 World Cup in 2007, Yuvraj set the tournament alight by smashing six maximums in an over. India managed to win the trophy under the leadership of the legendary MS Dhoni. “Some of my fondest cricketing memories have come from playing at the T20 World Cup, including hitting six sixes in an over, so it’s very exciting to be part of this edition, which is set to be the biggest one yet,” said the legendary all-rounder. https://www.news18.com/cricket/icc-names-yuvraj-singh-as-ambassador-for-mens-t20-world-cup-2024-8867698.html

The T20 World Cup winner also highlighted,” India’s clash against Pakistan in New York is going to be one of the biggest sporting fixtures in the world this year, so it’s a privilege to be a part of and to witness the best players in the world playing in a new stadium.”
