The prestigious ICC T20 Cricket World Cup trophy is set to make a special appearance at Nirman School in Ahmedabad, the alma mater of India's pace spearhead, Jasprit Bumrah, on January 28. This event promises to bring cricket fever to the city's educational institutions, offering students a rare opportunity to witness the coveted trophy up close.
Trophy Display Schedule and Access for Students
The trophy will be showcased at the Vastrapur-based Nirman School, where it will be accessible to students from various Ahmedabad schools.

Bumrah's Deep Connection with Nirman School

Ashish Desai, the managing trustee of Nirman School, revealed that Bumrah's mother, Daljit Bumrah, served as the school's principal from 2008 to 2019. This familial connection played a pivotal role in choosing the school, highlighting Bumrah's roots and his journey from a student to an international cricket star.

The International Cricket Council (ICC) is organizing the T20 World Cup championship from February to March, and the trophy's tour is part of the build-up to generate excitement among fans. With cricket fever already mounting, the arrival of the trophy in Ahmedabad has sparked considerable anticipation, especially given Bumrah's local ties and the city's passion for the sport.
