The upcoming ICC tournament’s trophy will provide special engagement for global fans through dynamic, colourful engagements that speak to the event’s new-look visual identity, the ICC statement read.

On the opening day in Islamabad, the trophy will be accompanied by cricketing legend Shoaib Akhtar and will be displayed at popular landmarks including Daman-e-Koh, Faisal Mosque, and the Pakistan Monument.
“After Islamabad, the tour will head to iconic cities and venues in Pakistan such as Karachi, Abbottabad, and Taxila before leaving the land of defending champions to embark on an extensive international tour, where it will continue to showcase the vibrant cultures evident across competing nations,” the statement mentioned.
