Delhi: Indian Women’s team captain Mithali Raj has been appointed as Goodwill Ambassador of Team India at the Street Child Cricket World Cup.
Mithali joined Saurav Ganguly and Rajasthan Royals in supporting the Indian Team as they gear up for the final match at Lords, just ahead of the ICC Cricket World Cup in May this year.
‘‘I am excited to join the Street Child Cricket World Cup as a Goodwill Ambassador for Team India,’’ Mithali said.
‘‘India has over 20L street-connected children and there lies our nation’s untapped potential. Sports is not just about changing a child’s reality but also garnering public support for children who live on the streets. As a woman cricketer, I am super thrilled to see that the tournament is gender equal. Playing at Lord’s is a dream for many, which has become reality for young the champions,’’ she added. (UNI)
