The second Pak-Bangladesh Test will not have spectators because to renovations at the National Stadium: PCB

 The second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh will not have spectators due to National Bank Stadium in Karachi being built in front of the ICC Champions Trophy in 2025, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) stated on Wednesday.





The PCB said in a statement that it was a "difficult decision" to hold the Test without an audience. The second series is set for August 30 to September 3.
 

The board stated, "We recognize the vital role that our passionate spectators play in cricket, inspiring and motivating our players."


"Our top goal, though, is the health and safety of our fans. We have determined that holding the second Test in front of an empty stadium is the safest course of action after carefully weighing all of the options.


The PCB announced that ticket sales have been halted immediately and that those who have already bought tickets would get a complete refund.


"We want to reassure our cherished fans that the ongoing stadium improvements are intended to improve their experience, even though we sincerely apologize for any inconvenience this may create.
 

The modifications, according to the statement, were a part of the board's effort to improve spectator appeal and get the stadium ready for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025, which will be held there for the first time since 1996.
 

In preparation for the test series, the Bangladeshi team flew to Lahore on Tuesday. They were to train at Gaddafi Stadium from August 14 to August 16 and then go to Islamabad on August 17 to train at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from August 18 to August 20.

The first Test match will take place in Rawalpindi from August 21 to August 25.

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 ...
