KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) insists that the National Stadium here will be ready to host matches of the upcoming Champions Trophy despite mounting concerns around the venue’s preparedness for the marquee event starting February 19.
Pakistan’s respected leading english daily ‘Dawn’ on Wednesday carried a story which stated that “it seems absolutely impossible to contemplate the renovation work being completed within the deadline, but the personnel handed the responsibility are beaming with confidence.”
“The board would either be hero or zero for taking up such a mammoth task,” the newspaper commented. PTI
