Sinhalese Sports Club Cricket Ground: The ICC Men’s T20 World Cup featured the alma maters of Hardik Pandya, Ishan Kishan, and Sanju Samson in the ‘Class of 26’ series. This initiative celebrates the early careers of current World Cup players and seeks to inspire the next generation nationwide during the World Cup Trophy Tour.

The Class of 26 aims to bring the prestigious trophy back to their alma mater, where each Indian cricket team member's journey began. They seek to make history by defending the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup title on home ground. Their aim is to return the trophy to the places that first sparked the ambitions of these talented players, where their talent was recognised and their confidence nurtured.

Connecting the trophy to players' formative years honours their early journey from school-ground dreams to the world stage, reminding students that every successful career starts with a dream. These visits transform the trophy from a symbol of global achievement into a reflection of potential.
