DP World, a leading global provider of integrated end-to-end supply chain solutions and the Global Logistics Partner of the International Cricket Council (ICC), has successfully executed a complex, multi-country logistics operation to support the ICC Men’s T20 World Cup 2026 across India and Sri Lanka.
Between December 2025 and January 2026, DP World implemented an integrated cross-border logistics program, coordinating air and sea freight from Singapore, Australia, the UK, the US, and the UAE. This operation involved transporting more than 55,000 kg of critical broadcast and match infrastructure to ensure that venues and production teams were ready on schedule.
In India, nine international shipments arrived in Delhi, consisting of over 620 packages weighing more than 25,000 kg. These shipments included essential broadcast systems and match operations equipment.
In Sri Lanka, DP World managed 10 air shipments, which combined both charter and commercial options, along with six sea freight containers from Singapore. This accounted for more than 465 packages weighing over 30,000 kg.
Rizwan Soomar, CEO & MD, Subcontinent, Central Asia & Levant at DP World, commented, “Delivering logistics for a global tournament of this scale demands seamless coordination, precision planning, and speed. Managing multi-origin shipments within compressed timelines demonstrates the strength of DP World’s integrated global network and our ability to perform under pressure. We are proud to support the ICC in delivering operational excellence across host nations.”
Close collaboration with customs authorities and ICC operations teams, along with DP World’s integrated air-and-sea capabilities, ensured the safe and timely arrival of all mission-critical assets.
DP World’s recent end-to-end air and sea freight management for the ICC U19 Men’s Cricket World Cup in Namibia further highlights the agility of its global network in delivering complex, time-sensitive sporting events.
