Men's ODI WC: Wankhede To Turn Blue To Support ICC-Unicef Initiative For Children

By IANS News November 01, 2023 • 19:14 PM View: 1055

ICC Ambassadors Sachin Tendulkar: The Wankhede Stadium will turn blue when India take on Sri Lanka in an ICC Men's ODI World Cup match, here on Thursday.

That will not only be because the Men in Blue will be playing at the venue where they won the 2011 World Cup, it is also because the ICC and UNICEF, in partnership with both the Board of Control for Cricket in India (BCCI) and Sri Lanka Cricket are set to celebrate a new initiative, "One Day 4 Children", with a message of hope and support for every child to survive and thrive.

The initiative is part of the #BeAChampion campaign, harnessing the reach of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup to build a better world for every child, and create equal opportunities for girls and boys.
