National Stadium, Karachi News

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.

While the tournament saw almost packed scenes during the games in Lahore, Rawalpindi and Multan, there has been little to no attendance throughout the Karachi leg.
