Mumbai: Squashing all
rumours, the International Cricket Council (ICC) said Monday that
the World Cup trophy presented to India after Saturday night's final
at the Wankhede Stadium here was the original and not a replica, as
some media reports say.
"Contrary to some erroneous reports, the ICC can confirm that the
trophy presented to India at Wankhede Stadium on Saturday was the
original ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 trophy and the one that was
always intended to be presented to the winner of the event," the ICC
said in a statement.
"There is no question that this was a replica. The trophy presented
to India indeed carries the specific event logo of ICC Cricket World
Cup 2011 and has always been the Cup that the 14 teams were playing
for.
"The trophy seized by Mumbai customs is the promotional, perpetual
trophy which remains in the keeping of ICC at its headquarters in
Dubai. It carries the generic ICC corporate logo rather than the
logo specific to the 2011 event. That trophy will be reclaimed today
and will travel back to Dubai with ICC staff as was always
intended," the statement read.
