Bollywood superstar Aamir Khan, who is Unicef Ambassador for South Asia, has applauded its decision to associate with the International Cricket Council (ICC), the global governing body of cricket, over a five-year Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) partnership to "promote the cause of under privileged children".

The "PK" actor took to Twitter on Thursday to share the news with his fans.

`Am very happy that the ICC and Unicef have joined hands to promote the cause of under privileged children across the world. #Unite4Children,` Aamir tweeted.

The collaboration between Unicef and ICC is aimed at using the popularity of cricket for social good.

This partnership provides Unicef a critical platform to reach millions of children, adolescents and their families and positively impact their lives.
