The Spirit Trophy- First Look
It took 4 months and 50,000 double pointed crystal fine-rocks from Swarovski to create the trophy for season 2, which looks like this:
The trophy represents love from Pakistan, as one nation, which cannot even be summed up by the entire galaxy for the game of cricket. Taking its inspiration from the brilliance of the universe- the trophy’s central core resembles the galaxy of stars with a shooting star rising above and a golden crescent behind it.

The skipper of the defending champions, Islamabad United’s Misbah-ul-Haq, along with skippers of Lahore Qalandar and Karachi Kings, Brendon McCullum and Kumar Sangakkara unveiled the ‘Hanif Muhammad Best Batsman Trophy’.
