The trophy of the ICC T20 World Cup is on display at the Bouddhanath Stupa, a UNESCO World Heritage Site in Kathmandu, Nepal, on January 7, 2026. The tour, launched last year from Adam's Bridge, where a two-seater paramotor ascends into the sky carrying the trophy against the dramatic backdrop of India's southern coastline, makes a stopover in Nepal. The symbolic start of the tour from Adam's Bridge, culturally revered as Ram Setu in India and serving as a symbolic gateway between India and Sri Lanka, is unveiled in Kathmandu amid a ceremony. The 10th edition of the global event features 20 teams, comprising 29 days of high-intensity cricket played at eight venues across India and Sri Lanka, commencing on February 7. The Trophy Tour journeys across Asia, including India, Sri Lanka, Qatar, Oman, Nepal, Bahrain, and Mongolia, giving fans the chance to see the iconic silverware up close and participate in interactive experiences to build excitement ahead of the global mega event. In a unique initiative, the trophy is also taken to schools and colleges associated with players set to participate in the ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2026, offering young fans an inspiring, once-in-a-lifetime connection to the global stage. Additionally, the trophy is showcased at major T20 leagues as well as select bilateral series, reinforcing the build-up to the tournament across formats and geographies.
