IRELAND MEN’S CRICKET TEAM has received a boost ahead of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup, with Indian spend management company Zaggle coming on board as the official team sponsor for the tournament.
Founded in 2011, Zaggle is an India-based B2B2C SaaS fintech firm that develops technology-led spend management solutions to automate workflows, improve transparency and enable efficient business operations. Its clients and partners include Google, Thomas Cook, HSBC, Tata Capital, Visa and Mastercard.
The partnership, which begins with the start of the tournament, will see the Zaggle logo featured on the leading arm of Ireland’s playing shirt for the 2026 T20 World Cup.
Through the association, Zaggle aims to strengthen its international visibility while celebrating the values of teamwork, discipline and excellence that define both sport and business.
The expansion of the International Cricket Council’s Protected Sponsor Categories programme meant that the team’s official title sponsor for Ireland men’s cricket, Fáilte Solar, could not have its logo displayed on the playing shirt for this event, according to the media release.
Zaggle founder and executive chairman Dr Raj P. Narayanam 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.”
Cricket Ireland interim CEO Ross McCollum added, “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.”
