In the brand-new trophy, the national team’s credo, artistry, recognition, and grandeur were expressed. On Thursday in Lahore, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) unveiled the trophy for the eighth season of the Pakistan Super League (PSL). In front of franchise owners and top players, the PCB Management Committee Chairman, Najam Sethi, unveiled the trophy at the storied Shalimar Gardens.
PSL 8 2023 Supernova Trophy
The 24-karat Supernova Trophy, as it will be known, was crafted in Pakistan and serves as a testament to the nation’s skilled artisans and the Pakistan Cricket Board’s commitment to helping out regional companies. The national cricket team’s motto is “Unity, Passion, and Strength,” and the three pillars of the trophy are each adorned with 9,907 sparkling zircon stones to symbolize this. The main pillar at the back is further adorned with crystals to symbolize the commitment and effort required to ensure the team’s success.
Here are some fans’ reactions to the new trophy.
