Football icon Andrea Pirlo has lent his support to the Italy national cricket team ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, offering a brief but encouraging message as the Azzurri prepare for the global stage.

“Hello everyone, I want to wish you all the best of luck. Bye!” Pirlo said in a video message shared by the team, adding star power and visibility to Italy’s growing cricket journey.

Italy sealed qualification for the 16-team tournament thanks to a superior net run rate, finishing ahead of rivals in the qualifiers.

Bangladesh’s late withdrawal from the T20 World Cup later opened the door for Scotland, who secured a last-minute berth.

The Italians have been drawn into Group C, where they will face Scotland, Nepal, West Indies and England, with the top two teams advancing to the Super Eight stage.
