Flower will play a key role in promoting the tournament locally and internationally, as well as mobilising sponsorship and financial support. “Andy Flower has agreed to be one of the ambassadors for the forthcoming Street Child Cricket World Cup which will be held in Bulawayo in 2027,” said Coltart. It is a great honour for Bulawayo to have been awarded the right to host such an important global event.”The Street Child Cricket World Cup was first launched in 2019, when it was staged in Cambridge and London in the United Kingdom (UK) alongside the International Cricket Council (ICC) World Cup. The 2027 edition in Bulawayo will be the largest in the tournament’s history, with 20 teams of street-connected children expected to participate. The 2027 Street Child Cricket World Cup is widely seen as more than a sporting event — it is a platform for economic stimulation, global recognition and long-term urban renewal for Bulawayo.
