Mohali, Feb 2: The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup - 2026 Trophy Tour continued its inspiring nationwide journey on Monday with a visit to Chandigarh University, celebrating the journey of India’s ace left-arm pacer Arshdeep Singh, who is currently pursuing his studies at the university. The Chandigarh University campus came alive as students welcomed the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup trophy with a ceremonial guard of honour, followed by a vibrant atmosphere of celebration and engagement. CU students enthusiastically participated in interactive games and challenges alongside ‘Blaze and Tonk’, the official tournament mascots.

The visit marked another significant chapter of the ‘Class of 26’ initiative, an ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 storytelling and fan-engagement campaign conducted as part of the Trophy Tour with DP World, which celebrates the early journeys of current Indian World Cup squad members by reconnecting the iconic trophy with the institutions where their cricketing dreams were first nurtured, with the aim of inspiring students across the country. |
