With the goal of raising cricket’s visibility internationally, this gathering demonstrates the ICC’s dedication to developing partnerships with other significant sports organizations. Shah also met with FIFA President Gianni Infantino earlier this year at the 144th IOC Session in Greece, emphasizing his aggressive global cricket promotion strategy.
The final is set and the ICC Chairman is also in attendance for the final matchup.
It also is a big occasion for these two sports to come together and create a unique occasion to mark the unity of these two sports.
The champions league final will be played among Inter Milan and PSG, as they have been phenomenal at every stage. PSG are riding on a purple patch that has seen their attacking players click at the right time.
They are playing without any real striker and it has contributed to their play as the 3 players up top have been electric and always tend to change positions and it becomes too difficult to keep track of these players.
