Karachi Test Moved to Rawalpindi

PCB Announces Relocation Due to Renovation Works

Upcoming Test Schedule

1. First Test in Rawalpindi: August 21-25
2. Second Test in Rawalpindi: August 30-September 3

The ongoing renovation work at the National Stadium in Karachi has prompted the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to shift the second Test against Bangladesh to Rawalpindi.

The decision was made on Sunday, with the first Test proceeding as planned in Rawalpindi from August 21-25.

The change in venue ensures the timely completion of renovation work at the National Stadium, allowing it to host future international matches without interruption.

Karachi was originally chosen to host both Tests, but the PCB's decision prioritizes the larger interests of the sport in Pakistan.

Rawalpindi has proven to be a successful venue for Test cricket, having hosted several international matches in recent years.

The Pindi Cricket Stadium offers excellent facilities and a passionate cricket-loving crowd, creating an ideal atmosphere for top-level cricket.

The relocation of the second Test is expected to provide a boost to the local economy in Rawalpindi, with fans from across the country expected to attend the match.

The PCB's commitment to developing and maintaining world-class cricket infrastructure remains a top priority, and the renovation of the National Stadium is a testament to this commitment.

Cricket fans in Karachi are encouraged to attend the first Test in Rawalpindi to experience the high-quality cricket and support the national team.
