Pakistan vs Bangladesh Karachi Test: These days, Bangladesh is going through a phase of trying to bring stability after the coup and riots. PM Sheikh Hasina has already left the country. Mohammad Yusuf has become the interim PM. There is still a situation of tension in Bangladesh. Meanwhile, the cricket team is on Pakistan tour, where it has to play a 2-Test series. But before that a big news is coming out.
The second test match between Bangladesh and Pakistan was to be held in Karachi, which has now been shifted. This match will now be played in Rawalpindi. The major reason for this change is the renovation work in Karachi National Stadium. This work is being done for the Champions Trophy to be held next year.
Due to this reason Karachi test was shifted to Rawalpindi
Let us tell you that earlier it was also said that cheap tickets of Rs 15 each would be sold for this match. But after that the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) had issued a statement saying that this second Test in Karachi will be played in an empty stadium without spectators due to construction work.
But now PCB has changed its decision. They have shifted the competition itself. On Sunday (August 18), the PCB had cited the reason for not holding the match at the Karachi Stadium and said that the stadium has been shifted so that the players do not face any problem due to noise pollution.
PCB officials said that a lot of dust will be generated during the renovation, which may cause problems to players, broadcasters and media. They do not want to delay the renovation work and want to complete everything by the next Champions Trophy. This is the reason why in the end the decision was taken to shift the match itself.
A match between Pakistan and England will also be held here
Let us tell you that the Champions Trophy is to be hosted by Pakistan next year. This tournament will start from 19th February. PCB said that before shifting the match, they had discussed everything with the stakeholders.
Before the Champions Trophy, in October this year also, a match of the series between Pakistan and England will be held in Karachi. In such a situation, PCB does not want to take risk on anything. The first match of the series between Pakistan and Bangladesh will be played in Rawalpindi from 21 to 25 August. Whereas the second and last match will also be held in Rawalpindi between 30 August to 3 September.
