The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) insists that the Karachi National Stadium will be ready to organize matches of the next champions trophy despite the growing concerns about the preparation of the place for the Marquesin event from February 19. History that declared that “it seems absolutely impossible to contemplate the renewal work that is being completed within the deadline, but the personnel delivered the responsibility is radiant of trust.” “The Board would be a hero or zero to assume such a gigantic task,” said the newspaper.
Although the president of PCB, Mohsin Naqvi, inspected the Rawalpindi stadium on Tuesday and assured that the Champions Trophy would remain as planned, it seems unlike January 31.
The other the next main international matches in these places include the series of four games with New Zealand and South Africa from February 8 to 14 with the first two games in LaHore and then two games, including the final, in Karachi.
“Look, the stadiums will be fit for the host matches, but the question is that the PCB has promised everyone a world-class experience in these renewed places for the tri-series and champions trophy and if you can fulfill that promise. “said a source, which is following the construction work.
According to the reports, Bilal Chohan, the man responsible for the renewal work, complains not to obtain the equipment and authorizations required in time to complete the work in Karachi.
The panels that will be installed in the new building would be launched from the port of Karachi only on Sunday night, with its installation scheduled for the next morning.
“These are the kind of things we are dealing with, but sometimes it is sad to see the people who attacked us,” Chohan complained.
The PCB has spent around PKR 12 billion in renewal, construction and installation of equipment in the three places in Lahore and Karachi.
The tickets have already been on sale, but until the PCB announce that they have the possession of the new stadiums, the concerns will remain.
On Tuesday, the CPI CEO, Geoff Allalde, renounced a member of the World Body Board that indicates that his failure to give a clear image of Pakistan’s preparation was one of the reasons for his departure.
