India and Pakistan battle for 'biggest' trophy

Posted on 04/17/2006 in Offbeat

Gold, silver, diamonds and more... read the detailed description of the trophy India and Pakistan are playing for at Abu Dhabi in the Khaleej Times.

The 45-inch tall trophy is made of gold, silver and diamonds with Jaipur's famous meenakari work around. There are five players in action at the bottom representing different cricket playing nations. The Indian and Pakistani players are given symbolic colours of their teams — blue and green. They all are playing around five artistic bats, which have intricate designs and are studded with diamonds. The centre part is like a blooming stem unfolding in a flower like platter. This has 10 gold wickets with red ball striking them at from different directions.
