International cricket sensation Sachin Tendulkar has become UNICEF Ambassador for South Asia during a signing ceremony in Mumbai, India. In this capacity Mr. Tendulkar will support UNICEF's work in promoting hygiene and sanitation in South Asia. 

Known as the "Master Blaster," Tendulkar is widely acknowledged as one of the greatest batsmen in the history of the game. He is the first player to score a double hundred in a   one-day international and holds the record for the highest number of runs in both formats of one-day international and test match cricket.  

"I humbly accept the responsibility of being an Ambassador for UNICEF in South Asia. I look forward to working with children and communities in the region, urging them to use toilets and wash their hands. Following simple practices can contribute to a hygienic lifestyle which is important for the good health of children and women across the world," Sachin said.
