CHANDIGARH: With less than a month to go for the Indian Premier League (IPL), country's biggest sporting spectacle, IPL 2017 is all set to embark on an exciting 16 cities trophy tour with the first leg starting from Chandigarh on Friday dated March 10th 2017. The coveted VIVOIPL 2017 trophy will travel across the nation between 10th and 31st March where ardent cricket loving fans will get a first-hand experience of the IPL trophy.

The IPL 2017 trophy tour will mark its debut from Chandigarh on March 10th before travelling to 15 other cities thus ending its journey in Pune on 31st March. Bollywood celebritie­s like Archana Vijaya, Surveen Chawla and many others shall grace the tour with their presence and engage audience into exciting activities.

This will add to the thrill and excitement of the audience where they will have a delightful opportunit­y to click selfies with their favorite celebritie­s.

Vivo became the first ever title sponsor to organize the trophy tour last year. It would be a great occasion this year as well for the cricket loving fans to see the trophy from close quarters.

Sharing the excitement while announcing the trophy tour, Mr. Vivek Zhang, CMO, Vivo India said, “Vivo is excited to announce the VIVOIPL 2017 trophy tour in 16 cities. The associatio­n with IPL last year resulted in a huge brand recall and proved to be extremely fruitful for Vivo.

It is unbelievab­le how a sport can bring the entire nation together. The IPL truly reflects the love and passion Indians share for this wonderful sport. It offers a splendid opportunit­y to engage with our audience through various exciting activities. We are constantly striving to innovate and translate our vision into reality. And, undoubtedl­y, the partnershi­p with IPL is the fastest way to reach out to the youth of India.” KARACHI: Internatio­nal Cricket Council is expected to take a decision on sending a World XI side to Pakistan at its executive board meeting in April.

Security experts who visited Lahore for the Pakistan Super League final will submit their reports and give their feedback.

The ICC meeting is scheduled to be held from April 23 to 27, and the Pakistan Cricket Board is hoping the feedback from the security experts would pave the way for return of internatio­nal cricket to the country. No top Test team has toured Pakistan since militants attacked the Sri Lankan team in Lahore in March, 2009.

The last high-profile event to be held in Pakistan was the PSL final last Sunday.
