The ICC Men's T20 World Cup 2022, which will feature 16 teams from 16 October to 13 November, is fewer than 50 days away. The T20 World Cup took to the air today in Perth and Sydney as supporter’s countdown to "The Big Time," travelling from one side of the nation to the other.

Usman Khawaja, an Australian cricketer, was at Sydney Harbour in Sydney when the flags of all 16 competing teams were flown over the city and its internationally renowned attractions, the Sydney Opera House and Sydney Harbour Bridge.

The ICC Men's T20 World Cup Trophy Tour made its way to Perth, Western Australia, with Shane Watson delivering the trophy to the city's supporters via helicopter from the famous tourist attraction, Rottnest Island. Fan groups from all six of the clubs that will play in the five matches in Perth marched to the stadium to get a live look at the coveted awards.

In Geelong, where the 2014 champions Sri Lanka and Namibia will play in the T20 World Cup's opening game on October 16, a countdown clock and painting were also presented. After the T20 World Cup is over, the mural, which was painted by a local Sri Lankan artist, will continue to be shown at Kardinia Park Stadium.

Additional standing room tickets for the eagerly anticipated India vs. Pakistan game at the MCG on Sunday, October 23, were already sold out earlier this week.

Children's tickets to all Super 12 matches are available for just , while adult tickets begin at , and it's expected that over 800,000 spectators will attend the T20 World Cup.

Australian cricketer and ICC Men’s T20 World Cup Multicultural Ambassador Usman Khawaja said;  “The T20 World Cup is a massive global event and the fact that 16 teams will all be playing across Australia at the same time is very special. What I’m excited to see as being a part of the T20 Champions program is the fans of all the different teams coming to the stadiums to celebrate their heritage and passion for cricket.”

“While Australia is the hosts of the event, this will be a home World Cup for people of all different backgrounds no matter where they are from. We’ve seen tickets sell out for the India and Pakistan match with over 80% of those fans living here in Australia. This shows how big the opportunity is for cricket to engage fans of all different backgrounds to be part of the Australian Cricket family.”

ICC Head of Events, Chris Tetley said: "There is a real sense of excitement and anticipation now we are just 50 days away from the start of the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2022. Today’s activities across Australia to celebrate the milestone highlight this is an event not to be missed. With all 16 teams confirmed and the finishing touches to event preparation being undertaken, I can’t wait for the cricket to start and to see who will claim the ultimate prize in T20 cricket.

There are still some tickets available for certain match days so anyone that wants to witness the world's best T20 cricketers in a World Cup should check the ICC website to make sure they don't miss out."

It will be an unfishable celebration of cricket and the many different cultures that make up its extraordinary global fanbase.
