International cricket
In addition to the one-day series and tournaments organised by the nations themselves, the ICC organises two One Day International tournaments. The World Cup is held every four years; it involves all the Test-playing nations and a number of teams advancing from the immediately preceding ICC World Cup Qualifier. The ICC Champions Trophy, previously known as the ICC Knockout Cup, is a shorter tournament held every four years in between World Cups. The ICC also organises a T20 International tournament, the ICC World Twenty20, which is generally held every two years and, as in the latest competition, involves the ten full ICC members and six associate members who qualified through a qualifier competition, the ICC World Twenty20 Qualifier.
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."
