2025 Champions Trophy: Mohsin Naqvi approves venue design

 The PCB chairman reiterates his pledge to finish venue upgrades in time for the major event in the following year.



The stadium designs for Karachi, Lahore, and Rawalpindi, which will host the Champions Trophy 2025 in February and March of next year, have been accepted by Mohsin Naqvi, Chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB). The permission follows his meeting with Chairman Chris Harding and other senior officials at the London headquarters of Naqvi BDP Pattern, a well-known architectural firm with headquarters in the United Kingdom.

One day prior, insiders informed News channel that the board had started renovating National Stadium, one of the three locations for the major tournament that will take place the following year.

Two other venues selected by the PCB to host the Champions Trophy are Rawalpindi International Cricket Stadium and Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. The PCB has allotted Rs12.80 billion for the three locations that would undergo renovations in advance of the major event, which is scheduled to take place from February 19 to March 9 of the following year.

A budget of approximately $70 million has been agreed by the International Cricket Council (ICC) for the tournament. This money is intended to cover the costs incurred throughout the support period, which is slated to take place from February 12 to February 18. Promotional events, media appearances, and warm-up matches are scheduled during the support period. Together with the PCB, the ICC will decide on all actions that will take place throughout the support period.

The warm-up matches will be determined by the ICC after consulting with all of the teams. Each side will be allowed to play up to two warm-up matches, which will take place in each of the three cities of Lahore, Karachi, and Rawalpindi, subject to sanction. PCB Chairman Naqvi received a thorough briefing regarding the stadium upgrade project while at the BDP office.

The head of the board expressed satisfaction with the designs of the venues, pointing out that this was the first time the arenas had been rebuilt to accommodate so many cricket fans. Naqvi reiterated his commitment to finishing the difficult task of renovating the stadium in time for the Champions Trophy, emphasizing that he was personally overseeing this massive project. It should be mentioned that the 63-year-old UK-based architectural firm has created almost 200 stadiums that meet international standards across several nations, earning it more than 1,000 honors for design excellence.

Ihsanullah's inaccurate elbow diagnosis is noted by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi.

Mohsin Naqvi, the chairman of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), is furious over how board members have handled the injury of young fast bowler Ihsanullah. Ihsan, 21, made a big impression with his pace in the Pakistan Super League last year. He then took part in two ODIs at home against New Zealand and three T20 matches against Afghanistan in Sharjah. But after the series against New Zealand, he suffered an elbow injury that kept him out of action for the Asia Cup and World Cup. Unfortunately for the youngster, his recovery has not yet been complete due to a misdiagnosis of his condition and a botched operation in Lahore.

Hero Imad Wasim leads Islamabad to a thrilling two-wicket victory in the PSL final.

Hunain Shah wins with the last ball as Multan falls in yet another thrilling match. Scoreboard  Islamabad United is the team that knows how to win PSL finals, even though Multan Sultans may have the recipe for getting there. For the Sultans, it was deja vu as they watched another PSL final be stolen from them in a low-scoring thriller ending. United's hero was Imad Wasim, who defied time with an incredible all-around effort. He claimed five wickets and was out in the middle when Hunain Shah angled the final delivery behind point to win United's third title. In Karachi today, the drama of the previous year's epic final, which the Sultans lost by a run, was undoubtedly surpassed. At several points during both innings, United looked to have won that match, but never more so than when they got the Sultans down to 127 for 9. However, Iftikhar Ahmed's cameo of an unbeaten 32 off 20 balls lifted the Sultans to 159, a score that they felt they had just about enough manpower to ...
