T20 World Cup Trophy Tour 2024 launched in New York
(MNP) – The iconic Empire State Building lights up as countdown to ‘Out of this World’ T20 World Cup begins in New York.
Two-time T20 World Cup champion Chris Gayle and USA bowler Ali Khan lit up the Empire State Building in New York to launch the Trophy Tour for the upcoming tournament.
The ninth edition of the Men’s T20 World Cup begins on June 1, 2024 and will be played across the USA and West Indies.
The official launch of the Trophy Tour for the event took place at the famous building in New York as the iconic skyscraper lit up in navy and pink – the official tournament colours – with Chris Gayle pulling the lever to illuminate the structure.
This will be the first ICC event taking place in the United States and will occur across three venues – the brand new 34,000-seater Nassau County International Stadium in New York, the rennovated Grand Prairie Cricket Stadium in Dallas and the Broward County Stadium in Lauderhill.
New York will host eight matches, while the other two venues will host four games each.
West Indies, who are the co-hosts of the event, will have matches taking place at iconic venues such as Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Guyana, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Trinidad and Tobago.
