Secured in a custom-made case, the trophy was ferried across by Zampa and local cricket fans to Reef Magic Pontoon, off Cairns. 

The visit is part of the ICC Men's T20 World Cup Trophy Tour, which will touch down in 21 locations across all eight Australian States and Territories in addition to 12 other countries. 

The T20 World Cup will feature 16 international teams, bringing fans together from around the world for the global showpiece event and giving them the opportunity to experience the best of Australia while they are here for the cricket.

Over 100,000 international visitors are anticipated to attend the event, which is being played from October 16 to November 13 across seven host cities. 

Australia won their maiden ICC T20 World Cup in 2021 and they will aim to defend title at home.
