ICC and Nissan Deal

The agreement runs through till 2023 and this move would strengthen Nissan’s position in India where cricket is the most loved and popular sport.

Speaking more on this occasion, Roel de Vries, Corporate Vice President and global head of marketing and brand strategy for Nissan, said, “Innovation that excited is what Nissan does. As partners with the ICC we will introduce ways to enrich the experience of Cricket fans through our rights with the global Trophy Tour, the International Flag Bearer Programme and new live event experiences.”

Our aim is to share with cricket fans around the world the excitement of the game and our cars. Both are created by people who have passion for what they do.” He added.

Commenting on the agreement, David Richardson, chief executive, International Cricket Council, said: “The ICC is delighted to welcome Nissan on board as a Global Partner and we look forward to working together for the next eight years to deliver a strong partnership at all ICC global events.”
