Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi announced on Thursday that preparations for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy tournament have been completed and fans will experience the event with the “best possible facilities”, Radio Pakistan reported.
He expressed these views during his visit to National Stadium in Karachi today where he reviewed the ongoing construction and upgradation work.
National Stadium Karachi is one of the venues for the ICC Champions Trophy to be held in Pakistan from February 19 to March 9 next year.
The International Cricket Council (ICC) still unable to announce a fresh date for its Board meeting to resolve the deadlock on the Champions Trophy following India’s refusal to visit Pakistan, has convened an internal meeting with its sponsors and stakeholders on Thursday, well-informed sources told Dawn.
The deadlock stems from India’s refusal to send its national team to Pakistan for the tournament, citing unspecified reasons.
The PCB statement on X mentioned that upon Naqvi’s instructions, both the score screens at the stadium will now be installed at a height above the posts.
