International cricket
Most games are played as parts of "tours", when one nation travels to another for a number of weeks or months, and plays a number of matches of various sorts against the host nation. The ICC also organises competitions that are for several countries at once, including the Cricket World Cup & ICC T20 World Cup.
World's biggest cricket bat
The Pasban Giant Cricket Bat was unveiled at a ceremony held at Defense Stadium, Karachi on February 28, 1996. The bat was prepared in a frenzied environment leading up to the 1996 Cricket World Cup. The unveiling ceremony of the bat, which is the biggest solid wooden cricket bat in the world, was well attended by large number of citizens of Karachi.
Pasban workers took the bat to the Defense Stadium from near the Gilani Railway station in a trawler rally and it has been titled as "Ambassadors of peace and love."
