Are the preparations for Champions Trophy not complete… Why did Pakistan shift 4 matches of Multan to Karachi-Lahore?

New Delhi. Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had to hastily change the schedule of the tri-series to be held in February. PCB itself has given this information. The matches of the Tri-ODI series to be played from February 8 were initially to be held in Multan. Of these, 4 matches have now been shifted to Lahore and Karachi. This tri-series is to be played between Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa.

Pakistan is to host the Champions Trophy from 19 February. Changes in the schedule of matches played a week-10 days before this are increasing the concern of cricket fans. However, Pakistan Cricket Board is not worried about this. PCB has said that renovation work is currently going on in the stadium of Multan. The Board does not want to leave any stone unturned in hosting the Champions Trophy. That is why as a precautionary measure the matches have been shifted from Multan to Lahore and Karachi.

PCB said that work has been going on for a long time in the stadiums of Lahore and Karachi also. For this reason the matches to be held here were shifted to Multan. Now the matches of Multan have been shifted to Lahore and Karachi so that there is no lack of preparation there too.

Pakistan is hosting an ICC tournament after 30 years. For this reason, there is enthusiasm about this tournament across the country. But sometimes due to the hybrid model of hosting and sometimes due to the preparations, the board is always surrounded by controversies. The Indian team is not even touring Pakistan. Teams like New Zealand have also been raising the issue of security in Pakistan.
