With only two days until the premier event of the one-day game begins, the International Cricket Council (ICC) names Indian great and Bharat Ratna Sachin Tendulkar as the Global Ambassador for the Men's Cricket World Cup 2023. The Men's Cricket World Cup Trophy will be presented to The Master Blaster, who boasts an impressive record of participating in six 50-over World Cups over the course of his illustrious career, before the first game at the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad, officially kicking off the competition.
