LAHORE: Boisterous cricket fans in Pakistan will have a unique experience when the ICC T20 World Cup trophy comes to the country.

The coveted trophy, which will remain in Pakistan for three days, arrives in Islamabad in the wee hours of Thursday.

After coming to Islamabad, the trophy will also be taken to Abbottabad, a scenic city in Khyber Pakhtunkhwa.

Following its arrival in Lahore, the trophy will also be placed at the Gaddafi Stadium during the fifth and final match of the ongoing T20 series between Pakistan and New Zealand scheduled for Saturday.

The T20 World Cup is being held jointly by West Indies and the US from June 1 to 29.
