PCB to hold second Test without spectators
KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that the second Test between Pakistan and Bangladesh, scheduled for August 30-September 3 in Karachi, will be played without spectators.
The decision comes as a result of ongoing construction work at the National Bank Stadium to prepare the venue for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The PCB said that the safety of spectators is paramount and that holding the match without fans in attendance was deemed the safest option.
Ticket sales for the Karachi Test have been halted, and fans who have purchased tickets will receive full refunds. While expressing regret over the inconvenience caused to fans, the PCB said that the stadium upgrades are aimed at improving the overall spectator experience for future events, including the ICC Champions Trophy.
