Rawalpindi, October 17,2026: The trophy for the upcoming ODI tri-series featuring hosts Pakistan, Sri Lanka and England was unveiled at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium on Saturday, with the three teams’ captains attending the ceremony.
Pakistan captain Shaheen Shah Afridi, Sri Lanka skipper Kusal Mendis and England captain Harry Brook unveiled the silverware on the rooftop of the stadium.
The trophy features an intricate combination of gold and silver finishes, with three prominent shield-shaped panels bearing the flags of Pakistan, England and Sri Lanka, each decorated with ornate golden detailing.
A golden cricket ball sits atop the trophy above a crown-like arrangement of pointed ornamental elements, adding to its distinctive design.
The tri-series begins on Sunday, with Pakistan taking on Sri Lanka in the opening match at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The tournament will provide all three sides with an opportunity to fine-tune their combinations and assess their preparations for next year’s ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup.
Pakistan will face England in their next fixture on October 20, followed by Sri Lanka’s match against England on October 22.
After the first three matches in Rawalpindi, the tournament will move to Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium for the remaining league-stage fixtures on October 25, 27 and 29.
