This tour promises to be a thrilling journey filled with iconic moments and engaging activities, as stated in an official press release by the PCB.

The ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 trophy embarked on an epic voyage, touching down in various countries before reaching its current destination in Pakistan. Its journey took it through Australia, New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, the United States, West Indies, Bangladesh, Kuwait, Bahrain, Italy, France, and England after commencing its odyssey from India on June 27.

This magnificent trophy, considered one of the most coveted prizes in the realm of cricket, arrived in Lahore on September 4 and is scheduled to depart on September 6, marking a brief yet monumental visit to Pakistan. Originally intended to be in the country from July 31 to August 4, the trophy's arrival was delayed due to uncertainties surrounding Pakistan's participation in the tournament.

During its short but historic stay, the trophy will make stops at significant historical landmarks, cricket academies, and educational institutions, offering cricket enthusiasts from all walks of life an extraordinary opportunity to witness the glory of cricket up close, fostering a deeper connection with the sport.

In a move to ensure that this momentous occasion is well-documented by the media, the trophy will be prominently displayed at the National Cricket Academy's outdoor area on September 6 at 10:00 AM for a duration of 40 minutes. This display promises to be a visual treat, capturing the hearts and imaginations of cricket lovers and enthusiasts across the nation.

The ICC Men's ODI World Cup 2023 is slated to feature 10 formidable teams vying for the coveted title. The tournament will unfold across 10 venues from October 5 to November 19, with the Narendra Modi Stadium in Ahmedabad hosting the grand tournament opener and the much-anticipated final showdown.

In a round-robin format, all participating teams will compete against each other in 45 league matches, promising fans a thrilling cricket spectacle. The top four teams emerging from the league stage will secure a spot in the semi-finals, which are scheduled to be held in Mumbai on November 15 and in Kolkata on November 16. Additionally, reserve days have been allocated for the semi-finals and the final to ensure that weather-related interruptions do not dampen the excitement of these crucial matches.
