The newly unveiled HBL Pakistan Super League 8 trophy is a symbol of the national cricket team's motto, artistry, recognition, and prestige. The trophy was revealed during a memorable ceremony at the historic Shalimar Gardens in the presence of franchise owners, HBL representatives, and elite cricketers.
The event was presided over by Mr. Najam Sethi, Chair of the PCB Management Committee.
The Supernova Trophy, as it will be called, is a 24-karat masterpiece that showcases Pakistan's skilled craftsmanship and the PCB's commitment to supporting local businesses. The trophy was made in Pakistan and is a testament to the country's talent and expertise.
The trophy's design is inspired by the national cricket team's motto, Unity, Passion, and Strength. The three pillars of the trophy are adorned with 9,907 glittering zircon stones, representing these values.
The main pillar at the back is further embellished with crystals, symbolizing the hard work and dedication that has gone into ensuring the team's success.
