Michael Mason, AKA the World Test Championship mace trophy, is going on a nationwide tour.
The Blackcaps have this morning announced the week long trophy tour which will begin on July 26.
They weren't initially going to have one, but persistence from fans has changed their tune so the mace and various Blackcaps will go around Auckland, Tauranga, Hamilton, New Plymouth, Palmerston North, Wellington, Christchurch, Dunedin and Invercargill.
But it will start on July 26 in Whāngarei, in Tim Southee's home town and the Blackcaps' seamer joined Mike Hosking.
