Dubai: Former England and Nottinghamshire spinner Graeme Swann, on Thursday, unveiled a spectacular ‘Giant Catch’ sculpture at the Council House in Nottingham city centre ahead of the ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup, beginning May 30.
The six-metre tall giant hand features a wristband with emblems of nations – England, Australia, Pakistan, West Indies, India and Bangladesh – who will play in five World Cup fixtures at Nottingham’s Trent Bridge ground, ICC reported.
