Facebook’s head of media partnerships, Australia and New Zealand, Karren Rogers, said: “Facebook is the home of cricket in Australia and around the world, with over 100 million cricket fans on Facebook globally.

“We’re delighted to be able to share six weeks of exclusive content from cricket legends which will no doubt contribute to the conversation as fans connect and share opinions throughout the World Cup.”
