THE ICC Men’s T20 World Cup trophy embarked on a memorable ‘visit’ to Guyana’s historic St. George’s Cathedral, the world’s tallest wooden building, on Thursday.

School children from across the region were treated to a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to pose for pictures with the coveted trophy and mingle with Guyana’s national cricketers amidst the grandeur of the landmark.

This visit is just a taste of the excitement brewing in Guyana, which is gearing up to “knock it out of the park” as it prepares to co-host the tournament alongside the United States. The country will showcase its unique culture and warmly welcome fans as it stages group matches from June 2nd to 8th, culminating in the second semi-final on June 27th.

Guyana will have the honour of hosting the second match of the tournament, which will also be the West Indies’ opening fixture, on June 2nd. The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 runs from June 1st to 29th.

Fans eager to witness the action live can still secure their tickets. Physical sales are ongoing at the Guyana Cricket Board office on Regent Street, while online purchases can be made through the official website at www.tickets.t20worldcup.com.
