Usain Bolt Unveiled as Ambassador of ICC T20 World Cup

Sprint Icon, Usain Bolt, was announced as ambassador of the ICC men’s T20 World Cup, today

Bolt believes cricket can prosper in America on the back of co-hosting this year’s global showpiece and a successful foray back into the Olympics in 2028.

A long-time friend of West Indies great Chris Gayle, Bolt said he was looking forward to playing a part in the tournament that will run in the USA and Caribbean from June 1-29.

Bolt expects to see the party atmosphere in full force in the Caribbean – with ‘fans enjoying the dancing, music and high-energy’ atmosphere it is renowned for.

The 8-time Olympic gold medallist is also keen to see how much of an impact cricket can make in its first major venture into the American market.
