On the other hand, the male characters were described as “exuding a unique blend of sub-zero coolness and high tension punch”. From dastardly finesse to his groundbreaking six shots, every one of his shots exudes electrifying power that captivates audiences. His electromagnetic bat and versatile repertoire of shots add excitement, lighting up the stage and rousing the goal area with every shot. ”

ICC Head of Events, Chris Tetley said, “We are delighted to launch the ICC’s mascot pair ahead of the 2023 World Cup. Our mascots stand as a symbol of the unity and passion that both genders represent. They symbolize the important role gender equality plays in our dynamic world.”

“In line with ICC and Cricket’s priority to connect with the next generation of cricket fans, these mascots have the power to engage and entertain children, growing the love of the game beyond ICC events,” he added.
