For cricket fans, the past week has been a particularly good time to fly to Sri Lanka with Emirates, the award-winning Dubai-based international airline:

seven passengers on flights to Colombo have won exclusive collector’s items in the form of bats autographed by teams that competed in the 2011 ICC Cricket World Cup. Presented as part of Emirates’ ‘Lucky Seat’ promotion on flights carrying international teams vying for glory in the ICC World T20 tournament being hosted by Sri Lanka, these bats were presented by the respective team captains to the lucky passengers on arrival at the Bandaranaike International Airport (BIA). Emirates is an Official ICC Partner, and the Official Airline of the Murali Harmony Cup, an event staged in the build-up to the ICC World Twenty20 in Sri Lanka.

Here is Emirates ‘Lucky Seat’ passenger Asim Amjad receiving his bat from George Bailey Captain of the Australian T20 team.
