The world CUP 2011—CONTROVERSY
There has been much ado regarding World cup 2011. Now the news spread that the World Cup that had been handed to the champions is the replica not the real. Though (ICC) The International Cricket Council has, however, rejected these allegations, saying the real Cup was handed to the champions. Contrary to some erroneous and mischievous media reports, the ICC can confirm the trophy presented to India at the Wankhede Stadium on Saturday was the original. But in reality it may be something else. It has been suggested in the media that the original Cup is lying with the Customs department because of the non-payment of duty on the Cup. But they made me confused by hearing the exactly contradictory statement.
The original gold and silver Cup, valued $130,000.is in customs custody because the ICC failed to deposit the respective money. But ICC is constantly arguing that Cup in the customs' custody is the "perpetual trophy" which being used for promotional purposes. They emphasizes their comment by saying that The trophy presented to India carries the specific event logo of ICC Cricket World Cup 2011 and has always been the cup that the 14 teams were playing for. However "The trophy seized by Mumbai customs is the promotional, perpetual trophy which remains in the keeping of ICC at its headquarters in Dubai. It carries the generic ICC corporate logo rather than the logo specific to the 2011 event. That trophy will be reclaimed today and will travel back to Dubai with ICC staff as was always intended.
