HYDERABAD and DUBLIN – The Ireland Men’s cricket team has received a major boost to its ICC Men’s T20 World Cup campaign with Zaggle, an Indian major Spend Management Leader, agreeing to become the ‘Official World Cup Team Sponsor’.

Zaggle, which launched in 2011, is an Indian-based B2B2C SaaS FinTech solutions company that builds technology-led spend management solutions to automate workflows, improve transparency and enable efficient business operations. Amongst Zaggle’s client and partners are: Google, Thomas Cook, HSBC, Tata Capital, Visa and MasterCard.

Zaggle has won numerous awards during its 15 years of operation, including the BusinessWorld FinTech Brand of the Year and 11^th Payment Industry Awards Best Spend Management Award.

The partnership, which commences with the start of the tournament, will see the Zaggle logo appear on the leading arm of the Ireland Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 playing shirt.

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 represents one of the largest global sporting platforms, bringing together millions of fans across geographies. Through this partnership, Zaggle aims to strengthen its international visibility while celebrating the spirit of teamwork, discipline and excellence that defines world-class sport and enterprise alike.

Commenting on the partnership, Dr. Raj P. Narayanam, Founder & Executive Chairman, Zaggle, said:

“We are proud to partner with Team Ireland at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026. Cricket is a sport that unites people across borders, much like technology connects enterprises across ecosystems. This association reflects Zaggle’s global ambitions and our belief in supporting teams that play with passion, focus and purpose on the world stage.”

Zaggle extends its best wishes to the Ireland team as they compete at the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 and looks forward to supporting the team through this exciting global journey.

Speaking from Dublin, Ross McCollum, interim CEO of Cricket Ireland, said:

“We are delighted to welcome Dr Raj, Avinash and the Zaggle team to the Irish cricket family. With cricket being the second-largest sport in the world and with literally millions of people in India watching every match, I am not surprised that the attractiveness of being associated with the Cricket Ireland brand at world cup time would be well sought after, particularly by a growing Indian company like Zaggle.

“We would also like to acknowledge our partners at ITW Universe for being the support partner in helping to attract and deliver on this opportunity.”

The expansion of the International Cricket Council’s Protected Sponsor Categories programme in recent times meant that its ‘Official Title Sponsor for Ireland Men’, Fáilte Solar, was unable to have their logo featured on the playing shirt for this event.
