Dubai: The ICC announced Thursday that New Zealand all-rounder Corey Anderson will be the event ambassador for the ICC U-19 Cricket World Cup 2018. The 12th edition of the 16-team tournament and the third in New Zealand will run January 13 to February 3 across four cities and seven venues. “It is extremely exciting to be involved again in the U-19 World Cup. I played two of them – it is the first stepping stone to playing international cricket,” said Anderson, who played in the U-19 World Cups of 2008 (in Malaysia) and 2010 (in New Zealand).
