MUMBAI, India, March 9 (Reuters) - The cricket World Cup trophy, which was kept on display in India by one of the International Cricket Council's global sponsors, has been damaged, organisers said on Friday.
The silverware, which will be presented to the winners of the showpiece event in the Caribbean beginning on Tuesday, has been sent to the ICC's base in Dubai.
"The lower gold ring of the trophy was detached from the wooden base when we received the trophy from the ICC," a statement from the organisers said.
"The ICC policy does not allow anyone except the official trophy makers to repair or polish the trophy."
