‘Rapturous celebrations’

We have today revealed images of the Special Stamps issued to celebrate England Men’s 2019 and Women’s ICC cricket World Cup 2017 wins.

The eight Special Stamps will be presented in two miniature sheets. The men’s miniature sheet comprises four stamps; each capturing a moment of celebration following England’s thrilling World Cup final victory against New Zealand at Lord’s cricket ground.

The England women’s miniature sheet also comprises four stamps - each image depicting the rapturous celebrations following their victorious World Cup final against India at Lord’s in 2017.

Each sheet will include two First Class stamps, alongside two £1.60 value stamps and retail at £4.60. Fans can pre-order the stamps online at www.royalmail.com/cricket and by phone on 03457 641 641. The stamps will be available on general sale from post offices on 26 September.

This is the first time England’s men’s and women’s cricket teams have held both the ICC cricket World Cup trophies simultaneously.

We have also decorated 15 special edition postboxes at each ground used in the tournament to mark the historic achievement of both England teams. The first postbox painted was outside Lord’s cricket ground where both sold-out finals were held.

There will also be a special postbox in locations of importance to the captains of both ICC cricket World Cup winning teams, England men’s captain Eoin Morgan and the captain of the 2017 women’s team Heather Knight OBE, as a tribute to leading their teams to victory.
