The Cricket World Cup Mascot – “Appu” was unveiled at the function which took place in Colombo, Sri Lanka, on April 2 and the World cup Organizers states that “that cricket fans based in the host nations would be able to participate in a contest to name the mascot.

However, the main objective to come up with the New Mascot for CWC is to crystallise the feelings of cricket lover especially in the major event like World Cup Match.
Tournament director Ratnakar Shetty stated that “It also emphasises the enthusiasm of youth both in general and for Cricket itself, especially on the sub-continent with its massive and dedicated following. He’s stylised to give an instantly recognisable graphic strength so that with exposure his bold lines and strong colouring will instantly create a friendly face for the CWC,” said in the media release.
