A little over 6 months remain for the start of the ICC Champions Trophy. And now the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chairman Mohsin Naqvi has gone on to claim that none of Pakistan’s stadiums are up to international standards. He claimed that completing the renovations would take time and believes that once the upgradation is done, India will also travel to Pakistan.
“There’s a huge difference between international stadiums and ours; none of our stadiums are currently up to international standards,” Mohsin Naqvi said.
“Completing the upgradation work before the 2025 Champions Trophy is a difficult task, but I am confident it will be done. Once the renovations are complete, all teams, including India, will come,” he added.
Naqvi’s comments came after he paid a visit to the Gaddafi Stadium. The PCB chief believes that once the renovations are completed it would make a 180 degree turn. He has finalised that the main priority during these renovations is to provide the basic facilities to the stadiums.
“Our first priority is to provide basic facilities in the stadiums, and we are committed to making them some of the best in the world. Our stadiums were stuck in the 1980s model while the world has moved to 21st-century modern facilities. We need to improve the infrastructure and enhance the spectator experience,” he concluded.
