The forthcoming tri-series between South Africa, New Zealand, and Pakistan will now take place in Multan, according to the announcement made by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The tri-series, which was originally planned to take place in Multan, will instead be hosted in Karachi and Lahore as the PCB gives priority to getting ready for the Champions Trophy.
The National Stadium in Karachi and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will host games in the series, which is scheduled to begin in the second week of February.
The decision was made in view of the Champions Trophy preparations that are now taking place at these locations.
The PCB claims that this change shows the board’s ability and dedication to modernising the stadiums to worldwide standards.
The Gaddafi Stadium’s capacity will be raised to 35,000, and the ongoing renovations at the National Stadium will be finished on time.
The PCB can better coordinate its Champions Trophy planning thanks to the tri-series shift, which also guarantees that the venues are prepared for the event.
