ICC inks long-term partnership with DP World to accelerate growth of cricket

The International Cricket Council (ICC) has named Dubai-based global smart end-to-end supply chain logistics solutions provider DP World as its Official Global Logistics Partner.

Beginning with the 2023 ICC World Test Championship Final on Wednesday in London, the UK, the collaboration will cover all significant ICC tournaments across both men’s and women’s cricket, including the ODI World Cups, the T20I World Cups, as well as the Champions Trophy.

The relationship, which was announced at the Oval Cricket Ground in London, is the first one the ICC has committed to for its next commercial rights cycle, which is set to begin in January 2024.

As the ICC’s Global Logistics Partner, DP World will apply customised logistics strategies throughout its operations. It will also be the exclusive owner of the match ball delivery moment. This asset will be enhanced by a number of other digital and experiential activities that DP World will develop jointly with the ICC.

It is set to be a partnership marked by deep integration and collaboration.With our hosting of an increasing number of events in the upcoming cycle and an expansion into more markets, our logistical demands are growing in scope and complexity.
