THE iconic Men’s T20 World Cup trophy has arrived in Guyana for the final leg of the festive trophy tour.
The trophy tour began in March in the United States of America and has visited Argentina, Brazil and fellow host nations in the Caribbean.

The Head of Public Relations and Communications for the Men’s T20 World Cup West Indies, Damon Leon, highlighted this is a perfect opportunity for Guyanese to participate in a mega event and urged them to both celebrate the trophy tour and get tickets as soon as possible for the matches in Guyana.

After the festive welcome with drumming and dancing, Assistant Director of Sport Franklin Wilson outlined the movement of the prized trophy.
Today, the trophy will stop at the State House, where the First Lady will host children from orphanages and differently-abled children.

Then, it will head to the majestic Kaieteur Falls along with the tournament ambassadors.
On Thursday morning, the President and cabinet members are expected to have the opportunity to view the trophy, after which there will be two public engagements.
The first will be at St. George’s Cathedral from 13:00 hours, where school children can interact with the national cricketers and the trophy. From 17:00 hours, it heads to Kingston Seawall Esplanade for a massive fan engagement, where fans can also win tickets.

Guyana is preparing to ‘knock it out of this world’ by showcasing its unique culture and warmly welcome the world when group matches are hosted from June 2-8, followed by semi-final two on June 27.

Guyana will host the second match in the tournament, but first for the West Indies, on June 2.
The Men’s T20 World Cup 2024, co-hosted by the United States of America and the West Indies, will run from June 1 to 29.
Tickets are currently available at the box office in Guyana.

The box office at the Guyana Cricket Board office on Regent Street will be opened Monday to Friday from 10:30 hours to 18:00 hours and on Saturdays from 10:00 hours to 16:00 hours.
