ICC tries to stop “Ambush” • Only official sponsors would be allowed to use

video clippings from any world cup matches.• Only official sponsors would be allowed to use

the World Cup logo and use the event in their marketing campaigns.

• A ‘cooling off period’ was introduced, which restricted players from endorsing brands other than those of official sponsors for a period of over 100 days (a 60-day period: 30 days before the tournament starts and 30 days after the tournament).

Tussle between ICC & Players

World Cup• Finally ICC had to made changes in its clauses

of agreement

conceived sponsorships and inept sponsors• It is probably just the next step on the

marketing evolutionary ladder• And at times the only option left
