The International Cricket Council (ICC) has struck a deal with the highly-rated Indian education app BYJU’s as their global partner from 2021 to 2023. The three-year agreement will see BYJU’S partner all ICC events over the period, including the forthcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup in India, and the ICC Women’s Cricket World Cup in New Zealand. As a global partner, BYJU’S will have extensive in-venue, broadcast, and digital rights across all ICC events.
BYJU’S will work closely with the ICC to deepen engagement with fans through the creation of innovative campaigns. In August last year, they became the official jersey sponsors of the Indian cricket team.
