Adam Zampa carries T20 World Cup Trophy underwaters at Great Barrier Reef in Australia

The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022 Trophy has made it to the Great Barrier Reef, one of Australia’s most famous natural beauties, with the help of Australia leg-spinner Adam Zampa. The star spinner and some local cricket fans carried the trophy to Reef Magic Pontoon, off Cairns, which offers tourists the chance to obtain an underwater seat to view the reef’s colours and marine life, with the silverware safely enclosed in a specially designed case.

The visit is a part of the Nissan-sponsored ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Trophy Tour, which will stop in 21 locations throughout all eight Australian States and Territories in addition to 12 other nations. The T20 World Cup, which will comprise 16 international teams, will bring cricket fans from all over the world together for the mega event and provide them the chance to enjoy the best of Australia while they are in the country for the game.

“Days like today are a reminder of how lucky we are to live in a country with so much natural beauty. It’s a privilege to be able to bring the World Cup trophy to this precious place and encourage fans around the world to get to Australia later this year. The cricket is going to be amazing with all the best teams in the world here, but as fans will see as part of the Trophy Tour, there’s so much else to see and do while they’re here,” Zampa told ICC.

The tournament, which runs from October 16 to November 13 in seven cities, is expected to draw more than 100,000 foreign guests. All teams are gearing up for the global event, and it surely is going to provide the cricket fans with an amazing time. Meanwhile, many teams have a busy cricketing schedule before they begin their World Cup campaign.
