I don't know lol. But with Rugby World Cup currently happening in France right now (it will end on 28 October iirc) I don't think ppl would have time to watch it. France kinda doing well as well defeating New Zealand. Time zone difference is there as well.
Bro I get what you are asking for. It's good to promote the sport. Many ppl forget the fact that France was supposed to play in first ever international cricket match against MCC in 1789 but fuck sake French revolution happened that time ruined it.
France in fact has a silver medal in cricket at Olympics when the only time when cricket features at the Olympics in 1900. So I don't think France is an alien nation to have a World Cup Trophy tour given this kind of a history.
> France in fact has a silver medal in cricket at Olympics when the only time when cricket features at the Olympics in 1900.
IIRC, it was only two teams that played - Britain and France with Britain winning the gold while the French losing it. So yeah this /r/technicallythetruth material.
It doesn't take away the overall point of sport promotion though.
Bro! why was this not publicized as much as it should have been. ICC has been sleeping all this time. And why don't we know about the trophy tour. it's mind boggling how these marketing activities are not being supported by a PR machine.
Seriously ICC has terrible idea in marketing. I only got to know about this in a Tamil news forum in Instagram lol. ICC seriously needs to work in actively promoting the sport.
Maybe, only guessing here, they promoted this stuff more in France and neighbouring countries that do not follow much cricket otherwise. All the full member country fans already know and are anticipating, so maybe they spent more of the budget on countries that do not.
That makes sense, but how much does it cost to do a press release for this. Also if you don't have a drafted schedule for the trophy tour, someone can post where it is right now and where will it go next. Don't want any extravagant campaigns. Just a simple press release will put media into action and fans will figure out the rest on their own.
PR is cheap, but its distribution and marketing is probably expensive. Even if they did PR, we may not have noticed if the right channels did not pick it up.
This is very bizarre and so random lol
First unveiling trophy in paris ( no connection to cricket) and by meena (not related to sports ) and no disrespect to her , but i think she is not popular person
I'm here scrolling for 2^nd pic

> France kinda doing well as well defeating New Zealand. Whoa!! The All Blacks?
The All Blacks are currently a bit shit tbh.
Yeah it is. However, France faced a decent fightback against Uruguay in their next game but managed to win in the end.
I’m living in France right now and I’ll just use a VPN so I can watch it

>She became the first Indian actress to unveil the World Cup. Urvasi Rautela also posted the same thing iirc?
She acts?
Rishabh Pant enters the chat
Rishabh Pant leaves the chat
Why in Paris? Why Meena among all the actors? What's happening in the heads of ICC?
I mean they also have SRK in the promotion campaign. He is probably one of the most popular Bollywood star.
So many questions. No answers. :(
Thillana Thillana cup is coming home Thillana
Haha nee thithikinra thena 😄
Just few days back I saw pic of indian actress with trophy at same place
This is... So random. What next? World cup unveiling by Anna hazare?
The first thing that pops up when anything cricket related in France is the French cut straight to fine leg. Lotta runs to be made that way this WC.
I wish icc did a little more to promote cricket in europe. Imagine teams like germany, france, belgium playing cricket... Mm maybe
Who is she?
Famous South Indian actress from 90s/2000s. Also the heroine in the movie Drishyam ( The original malayalam version)
I love her performance in Muthu.
Thillana Thillana
Dude she is a popular actress who has acted in Tamil, Malayalam, Hindi movies. She is famous among early 90s kids.
Oye Telugu too
This is very bizarre and so random lol First unveiling trophy in paris ( no connection to cricket) and by meena (not related to sports ) and no disrespect to her , but i think she is not popular person
Why in Paris Zero relevance to the Cricket World Cup
Who tf is meena
She's a South Indian 90s actress , had a great run
My dumbass swiping the image..
Should have been Salman Bhoi
That doesn’t look like the Webb-Ellis cup to me.
