Melbourne: Australia's Ellyse Perry has unveiled a mural celebrating two of the world's most famous 'Perrys' - Ellyse Perry and global pop superstar Katy Perry ahead of the Women's T20 World Cup.
American pop star Katy Perry will be performing at the final of the T20 World Cup, slated to be played on March 8 at the Melbourne Cricket Ground (MCG). Katy will perform two songs to get the final underway followed by a one-hour post-match concert, with her full band, immediately following the match.
"It's an incredible ambition to try and fill the MCG on International Women's Day for the T20 World Cup final," said Ellyse while speaking at the unveiling of the mural.
"As a team, we have a long way to go, but we recognise we have a great opportunity ahead of us and we're looking forward to getting into the event. Regardless of whether we're there, it'll be an incredible moment for women's cricket."
"It's very exciting to have someone like Katy Perry coming to play at the final and a bit surreal to be sharing a place with her on this mural. It's a bit of fun that she shares the same name, so hopefully, I can get her in one of my Australian shirts," she added.
