Fans have frequently speculated about whether the winning team will receive the original trophy. The solution is for the winning team to receive a replica of the World Cup trophy instead of the real one.
The original trophy has been returned to the ICC headquarters in the United Arab Emirates. The ICC emblem is inscribed on the outer columns of the World Cup reproductions, but not on the inside of the original. That remains the only difference between the original and the replica.
The design of the ICC World Cup trophy

The ICC World Cup trophy is made entirely of gold and silver and is shaped like a cricket ball with a seam around the perimeter. The silver columns are designed to represent the three basic parts of the game: batting, bowling and fielding. The winners’ names are written on the wood at the bottom.
