Designed and constructed by world-renowned trophy makers, Thomas Lyte (England), the magnificent ILT20 Trophy reflects the essence and the spirit of the League, and brings together influences that reflect and honour UAE's rich heritage and culture.
Leading this influence is UAE's majesty icon and revered national bird - the falcon, whose teardrop shape makes up the trophy's form, while the seven Emirates (that make up the United Arab Emirates) are woven-in through a 7-pointed crown, shaped as sand dunes inspired by the incredible sands of Tel Moreeb (Al Dhafra, Abu Dhabi) - considered to be the world's tallest dunes, which proudly sits atop clasping a cricket ball, as the trophy's finial.
And, in a pointed nod to the UAE's most famous landmark, the Burj Khalifa, the 12.2kg trophy stands at 830mm, reflecting the height of the Burj Khalifa which measures 830m from ground to tip.
The ILT20 champion's' Trophy will become a much-coveted piece, which will take pride-of-place in the winning team's (trophy) cabinet for years to come.
