The ICC World Cup 2023 trophy, as part of its global tour, is set to arrive in Pakistan on September 5, according to sources familiar with the matter. Initially scheduled for a five-day visit from July 31 to August 4, the trophy’s tour was delayed due to uncertainties regarding Pakistan’s participation in the event. It is expected to have a brief two-day stay in Lahore, concluding on September 6.
Details of the Visit:
During its short visit, the ICC World Cup 2023 trophy will tour historical landmarks, as well as shopping malls and educational institutions in Pakistan. This tour aims to engage cricket enthusiasts and build excitement for the upcoming ICC World Cup.
The ICC World Cup 2023 is slated to kick off in India on October 5, featuring ten teams competing for the coveted title. The trophy’s visit to Pakistan serves as a reminder of the global cricketing event and celebrates the sport’s fervent following in the country.
It’s worth noting that the Pakistani government recently granted approval for the national cricket team’s participation in the ICC World Cup 2023, ending months of uncertainty. The controversy emerged when India declined to tour Pakistan for the Asia Cup 2023, citing security concerns, which raised questions about Pakistan’s visit to India for the World Cup.
