No Need To Go By Any Rumours, All Stadium Work Will Be Done By Feb First Week: PCB Official
The Champions Trophy: Amid the reports claiming the possibility of the Champions Trophy being shifted out of Pakistan due to delay in renovation work at the stadiums, a PCB official said preparations are in full swing and all the work related to the stadiums will be done by the first week of February.
The Champions Trophy will commence on February 19. The eight-team tournament, featuring 15 contests, will conclude on March 9. Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium and Karachi’s National Bank Stadium are scheduled to host the matches of the Champions Trophy.
With the renovation work at the venues, which started in August last year and was supposed to be completed by December 31, yet to be completed, several reports emerged that the ICC will send a team to Pakistan to inspect the three stadiums. If the venues are not ready for handover on February 12, the entire tournament will be shifted to the UAE.
