The Champions Trophy is set to kick off in Pakistan next year. While the tournament schedule is yet to be announced, the trophy tour has already begun. As part of this journey, the "Champions Trophy" arrived in Bangladesh for a three-day visit which concluded at the "Home of Cricket" in Mirpur.
On Friday (December 13), the trophy was brought to Mirpur on the final day of its Bangladesh visit. On this day, BCB directors, cricketers, and media representatives had the opportunity to take pictures with the ICC trophy.
Despite the media's enthusiasm for capturing photos with the Champions Trophy, no current or former national team cricketers were present. The men's cricket team was unavailable due to their commitments in the West Indies tour and the National Cricket League (NCL).
Interestingly, although the women's team had no matches, they were not seen in Mirpur either.
However, Kalam Siddiqui, the opener of the recently crowned U-19 Asia Cup-winning team, was present. Speaking to the media, he expressed his excitement: "It feels great to take a picture with the trophy. We all dream of winning this."
Earlier on Thursday, the trophy was displayed at the Bashundhara Shopping Mall in Dhaka, where cricket fans had the chance to take photos with it.
For a unique photo session, the Laboni Point at Cox's Bazar Sea Beach was selected. On Wednesday (December 11), a photo session with the Champions Trophy was conducted on a boat at the seaside.
It is noteworthy that after concluding its visit to Bangladesh, the Champions Trophy will head to South Africa where it will remain until December 25.
