Legendary cricketer’s artefacts come to Lord's

Rare memorabilia of one of cricket's greatest ever batsman has arrived safely in London.

DP World, a leading international logistics provider and official ICC partner, transported rare memorabilia from the Don Bradman Museum in Adelaide, Australia, to the Home of Cricket at Lord’s. 

The round-trip journey covered nearly 20,000 miles, giving fans a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to see some of Sir Donald Bradman’s most treasured personal items.

DP World employed specialised packaging, transit protocols and expert handling to ensure the priceless cargo arrived safely and in pristine condition.

Daniel Van Otterdijk, group chief communications officer at DP World, said: “This was more than a logistics challenge; it was about bringing cricket’s timeless stories closer to fans. 

“We’re proud to have helped share the legacy of Sir Donald Bradman with audiences who might never see these treasures in person.”

The collection was unveiled during the ICC World Test Championship Final between Australia and South Africa, allowing thousands of cricket enthusiasts up-close access to the legendary batsman’s artefacts. 

Corydon Unwin, curator at The Bradman Collection, added: “Some of our collection is very fragile and others are temperature controlled, all requiring special care while being moved across the globe. 

“Partnering with a logistics giant, such as DP World, brought confidence that cricket history was expertly preserved during transit for fans from around the world to enjoy.”
