The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has silenced Indian media criticism over stadium upgrades with a single, powerful video showcasing the remarkable renovation of National Stadium Karachi, Gaddafi Stadium Lahore, and Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. The video, released by PCB, left Indian media and cricket authorities stunned.
PCB Showcases Gaddafi Stadium’s Transformation
On Thursday, PCB shared a video highlighting the upgraded Gaddafi Stadium, captioned: “A magnificent new look for Gaddafi Stadium! After seeing this breathtaking transformation, what words would you choose? We eagerly await welcoming fans, officials, and teams for the Tri-Series and Champions Trophy.”
The stunning visuals countered previous negative reports from Indian media, which had suggested that ICC might shift the tournament due to slow progress in renovations. These reports also claimed that PCB was restricting journalists from accessing stadiums due to ongoing work at Karachi and Lahore venues.
