The International Cricket Council (ICC) plans to release a digital art of Shaheen Shah Afridi’s smoking dismissal of Rohit Sharma in Pakistan’s T20 World Cup opener against India in 2021.
The ICC will post the artwork on its Faze app, a digital collectible forum developed particularly for showing and dealing with Non-fungible Tokens (NFTs) or stills from the Council’s flagship competitions, if it is commissioned.
The ICC also claims that fans can digitally own once-in-a-lifetime experiences by purchasing NFTs and secure a VIP seat in the hospitality box to watch the ICC World Cup Final or meeting and greeting your favourite cricketer one-on-one.
A still from Sri Lankan spinner Wanindu Hasaranga’s hattrick against South Africa is also being considered, in addition to Shaheen Shah Afridi.
