National Stadium, Karachi News

Pakistan Air Force show enthralled fans in Karachi as the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 got underway.

Indian flag couldn't be seen at one of the ICC Champions Trophy venues in Pakistan ahead of the start of the tournament.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) chief Mohsin Naqvi had dinner with 700+ workers after the completion of the National Stadium in Karachi.

The PCB has to complete all renovation work in Champions Trophy stadiums by January 31.

PCB insists that Karachi's National Stadium 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.

The PCB issued the official schedule of the tri-series on Saturday with the final slated at the National Stadium in Karachi on February 14.

The PCB has spent some 12 billion Pakistani rupees on upgrading the three stadiums.

A massive doubt lies over Pakistan hosting the Champions Trophy 2025.

The National Karachi Stadium, which is supposed to host the opening match between Pakistan and New Zealand, is still yet to be completely renovated.

In a statement released on Wednesday, the PCB said that fans won't be allowed in the Karachi Stadium for the second Test.
