ICC World Twenty20 photo opportunity with Andrew Strauss and Denesh Ramdin
Captains pose for photos with trophy at Courtyard by Marriott hotel on Saturday morning at 0745
West Indies captain Denesh Ramdin and his opposite number for England, Andrew Strauss, will be available with the ICC World Twenty20 trophy in Trinidad on Saturday morning, 14 March.
The pair will pose for photos at the Courtyard by Marriott hotel at 0745 local time with the trophy that will be up for grabs when the ICC World Twenty20 tournament takes place in England in June.
The early time is to allow the opportunity to take place before the England team departs for its practice match and to accommodate deadlines in the rest of the world. Those wishing to attend are therefore asked to be on time.
The photo opportunity will take place just a day before the West Indies and England face each other in a Twenty20 International at the Queen’s Park Oval in Trinidad. The trophy will also be displayed at the ground during that match.
The ICC World Twenty20 trophy is appearing around the cricket world ahead of this year’s tournament and has already been to Colombo in Sri Lanka for a T20I between Sri Lanka and India.
