New York’s iconic Empire State Building was lit up to mark the launch of the Trophy Tour for the upcoming ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024. The Global Trophy Tour will visit 15 countries, including all 9 host venues as the countdown begins to the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2024 in the West Indies and USA. Chris Gayle, the legendary West Indian cricketer along with USA’s Ali Khan lit the building, by pulling the lever down to light up New York’s iconic building in the navy and pink colors of the event.
The 2024 ICC Men’s T20 World Cup will be the ninth edition of the T20 World Cup, a biennial Twenty20 International tournament contested by men’s national teams and organized by the International Cricket Council. It is scheduled to be co-hosted by the West Indies and the United States from 1 June to 29 June 2024. The Empire State Building is a 102-story Art Deco skyscraper in the Midtown South neighborhood of Manhattan in New York City.
Following the huge demand of more than 3 million ticket applications in the public ballot, additional tickets have been released to 51 of 55 matches, including to fixtures where allocations were previously exhausted.
