The International Cricket Council (ICC) has announced a multi-year partnership extension agreement with Indian non-fungible token (NFT) platform FanCraze.
The partnership, which kicked off in January 2022, will continue for at least two more years. The new agreement is set to launch a new Web3 fantasy game called “ICC Crictos SuperTeam”, which will feature official licensed collectibles. FanCraze users will thus be able to build their own fantasy team and compete in contests for daily prizes.
