There is more to Cricket NFTs than “classic catches”! Inside Cricket’s Global NFT Project

Globally cricket is the second most popular sport behind soccer, so cricket is a massive deal. Finn Bradshaw, former journalist and now with the biggest digital job in cricket, talks about their recent successful NFT launch. The ICC puts on all the Cricket World Cups and has a treasure trove of NFT content. But  Finn explains that there is much more to NFTs than “classic moments”. The focus is on building utility for the fans.
