The initiative, named 'Catch the Spirit' centenary celebration, will feature each of the ICC's 104 members, who will be hosting activities inspired by the spirit of cricket as part the celebration, the governing body said in a statement.

"To promote this theme and the launch of the ICC's centenary year website catchthespirit.com, leading international stars have named their 'Catch the Spirit' moments which best encapsulate the spirit of cricket," the ICC said.
