Women’s T20 World Cup trophy set for nine-day tour of New Zealand


The Women’s T20 World Cup trophy will be taken on a nine-day tour of New Zealand after they won their first title in early October.

New Zealand traveled to India immediately after their World Cup triumph for a three-match ODI series that concluded on Tuesday and will return home on Friday.

On Saturday, New Zealand Cricket (NZC) will begin the ‘trophy tour’, with members of the women’s team and support staff set to appear at fan events in their cities.

Team members will interact with fans at free-entry public events and will also visit cricket clubs and schools.

“The World Cup victory is undoubtedly a defining moment for women’s cricket in this country and we are determined to make the most of it,” NZC general manager of marketing communications Stacey Geraghty said in a statement.

“Based on the amount of excitement here in New Zealand after the win, we expect the crowd to come out in force to celebrate with the team, in the same way the Kiwis supported the BLACKCAPS during their ICC World Test Championship Mace tour in 2021 “

The tour will begin in Dunedin and cover ten cities including Christchurch, Wellington and Auckland.

NZC also announced that the T20 World Cup trophy will be displayed at all New Zealand women’s matches in the home summer.

After beating the West Indies in the semi-final, New Zealand beat South Africa in the final in Dubai to lift their first T20 World Cup trophy, powered by an all-round display from Amelia Kerr.
