Pakistan welcomed the World Cup trophy as it arrived in the country on a global tour yesterday with skipper Misbah-ul Haq vowing to win it for the nation and its terror-hit people.
The ICC sent the most coveted trophy in the game on tour to spark interest ahead of the tournament, which will be staged in Australia and New Zealand from February 14 to March 29, 2015.
The trophy, which has also visited Sri Lanka, India, Bangladesh and Afghanistan since starting its journey in July, was unveiled by Misbah and Pakistan team manager Moin Khan.
Misbah said he wants to win the Cup for Pakistan cricket fans.
“I want to win the Cup for my people next year,” said Misbah. “I am sure my team will give happiness to my people who have not seen any international cricket at home for years now.”
