The International Cricket Council (ICC), UNICEF UK and England and Wales Cricket Board (ECB) will host a special matchday takeover at the iconic Lord’s when England takes on the West Indies in the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026 on June 24.
The ICC and UNICEF are aiming to raise both funds and awareness for the latter’s projects supporting children around the world, with a fundraising target of 100,000 pound from the activation.

Nabhaan Rizwan, a passionate cricket fan and two-time BAFTA-nominated actor, will attend the game and walk out with the trophy alongside former England pacer Isa Guha.
“I’m excited to be at Lord’s on Wednesday. As a huge cricket fan, I can’t wait to see England play West Indies for this ICC Women’s T20 World Cup game, during which fans will also be able to donate to support UNICEF’s work for every child,” said Rizwan.
UNICEF’s matchday takeover sits alongside wider Cricket 4 Good activity at the Women’s T20 World Cup 2026, with all 12 participating teams taking part in cricket sessions with girls from schools across the seven host venues.
