Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi confirmed that the ongoing upgrade of the iconic Gaddafi Stadium will be completed by January 25. A grand inauguration is scheduled for January 27.
Mr Naqvi during a media interaction expressed optimism regarding the completion of the stadium’s upgradation by 25 January. He also shared the exciting news of the official inauguration scheduled for January 27, an event that will feature several prominent personalities.
Addressing the national cricket team’s performance on the ongoing tour of South Africa, Naqvi acknowledged the team’s struggles after its defeat in the first Test. He also talked about their follow-on in the second.
Despite the challenges, he stressed that both victory and defeat are integral parts of the game. “The team is fighting, and this is what matters the most,” Naqvi said. In response to a question about rising concerns regarding young opener Saim Ayub’s treatment, Naqvi assured that the PCB would not compromise on his medical care.
Saim, who has been a bright prospect for the national team, will be leaving for London on Sunday morning, accompanied by assistant coach Azhar Mahmood. There, Saim will receive treatment from a renowned sports doctor. “Saim Ayub is an asset to Pakistan, and we are committed to his swift recovery,” Naqvi emphasised.
