The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced it is presenting cricket fans with an unique opportunity to play a part in ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 by inviting them to propose a name for the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 mascot, an elephant.

Cricket fans can make their suggestions up to 27 July, 2010 with the ICC announcing the winning name of the mascot at a launch in Sri Lanka to mark ‘200 days to go’ to the first match of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 which will be played in Dhaka, Bangladesh on 19 February 2011. The ICC Cricket World Cup final will be in Mumbai on 2 April 2011.


The mascot’s key characteristics are:

  • Loves playing street cricket – would play 24/7 if he could
  • Worships his cricket heroes, their technique, skill and character
  • Understands there is a lot to learn, work’s hard at it, step by step
  • Learning to master the art of concentration
  • Dreams of playing in the ICC Cricket World Cup…one day
  • Age: 10 (human years)


Suggestions should be sent to mascot@icc-cricket.com or posted/delivered to the “Tournament Director, World Cup 2011 Secretariat, No. 35, Maitland Place, Colombo 07”, along with your contact details; posted/delivered entries should reach the World Cup 2011 Secretariat on or before 12.00 noon on Tuesday, July 27, 2010.
