The 2016 ICC World Twenty20 trophy is scheduled to tour Bangladesh on January 14 and 15 as part of its journey across the globe. The trophy will embark on its global journey in Mumbai today before returning to New Delhi on February 1. As part of the Nissan Trophy Tour, the trophy will visit 12 countries.
During its journey, the trophy will be on display in domestic and international matches, as well as at various other public places, which will enable the fans to capture a special moment with the most prestigious silverware in the shortest format of the game. Details of the trophy’s public appearances will be announced by the host boards closer to the time.
Pakistan will be the trophy’s first stop-over in the subcontinent before it moves on to Bangladesh and then Sri Lanka.
“The Nissan ICC World T20 2016 Trophy Tour has been designed to not only promote the tournament but also to engage with our fans and provide them the first opportunity to get close to the trophy, which will be lifted by the winning captain on April 3 in Kolkata,” said ICC Chief Executive David Richardson in a media release yesterday.
“We would like to thank Nissan for their sponsorship of the Trophy Tour and we are sure it will be a big success as it travels across the world ahead of the ICC World T20 in India next year,” the ICC high-up added.
