ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy Tour 2023 launches into space

ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy Tour 2023

The start of the trophy tour for the ICC Men’s ODI World Cup 2023 in India was a magnificent affair, surpassing all previous editions. The launch of the 2023 World Cup trophy was truly extraordinary, taking place at an astonishing altitude of 120,000 feet above the Earth before making a stunning descent at the world’s largest cricket stadium in Ahmedabad. To enable fans from different countries to engage with the trophy, it was fastened to a specially designed balloon that soared into space.

This was achieved after the trophy was attached to a bespoke stratospheric balloon, and some stunning shots were captured of the trophy sitting on the edge of the Earth’s atmosphere from 4k cameras. Starting on June 27, the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Trophy will travel to 18 countries around the world, including Kuwait, Bahrain, Malaysia, USA, Nigeria, Uganda, France, Italy, the United States of America and the host country India. The Trophy Tour will begin on June 27 in India, travel around the globe and then return to the host nation on September 4.
