The Pakistan Cricket Board is preparing to host the Champions Trophy, a major international cricket tournament. This event is significant for Pakistan as it will be hosting an ICC tournament for the first time in nearly three decades. The tournament is scheduled to take place in three cities: Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Karachi. However, a recent issue has arisen that may cause problems for fans attending the matches.
The problem is related to the installation of oversized site screens at one of the stadiums. The International Cricket Council (ICC) has expressed its dissatisfaction with this development, citing concerns that it may obstruct the view of fans and cause difficulties in watching the matches. As a result, the ICC has asked the Pakistan Cricket Board to refund the money of fans who have purchased tickets for the affected area.
The ICC’s decision comes after a conversation with the Pakistan Cricket Board regarding the issue. The concern is that fans who have already bought tickets for the area with the oversized site screens may not be able to watch the match properly. The Champions Trophy is scheduled to start on February 19 and will conclude with the final match on March 9. The Pakistan Cricket Board is working to address the issue and ensure a smooth experience for fans attending the tournament.
The ICC’s head, Jai Shah, has been in communication with the Pakistan Cricket Board regarding this matter, emphasizing the need to prioritize the fan experience. The Pakistan Cricket Board is taking steps to resolve the issue and prevent any potential disruptions to the tournament. With the Champions Trophy just around the corner, the board is under pressure to ensure that all logistical and technical aspects of the event are in order.
