Tournament in danger? ‘Late for Plan’ Pakistan Sends ICC in a panic regime
The International Center for Cricket (ICC) is reportedly not satisfied with the Pakistani Cricket Committee (PCB), and the world governing body could transfer the entire ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
According to a report in Revsportz, the works on the renovation of the host of the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025, especially the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore, “Late”. However, some of the instruments reduce the importance of the situation, claiming that this is not a reason for the alarm.
PCB faces pressure to complete the renovation of the stadium, while ICC warns of the possible movement of the ICC 2025 ICC champion trophy.
The 2025 champion trophy should start on February 19 in Karachi, while the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore will host the first game in the tournament between Australia and England on February 22. On the other hand, India will play their matches in Dubai, Uae. .
Originally, the Pakistani Committee on Cricket (PCB) is a day deadline for completion of renovation works by December 31, but the deadline was extended until January 25th. Now, RevSportza report claims that PCB was looking for a few more days, but assured the ICC said that the Gaddafi stadium would be ready until February 1.
As for the other two places – the national stadium in Karachi and Rawalpindi Crickket stadium in Rawalpindi – things look better. Rawalpindi is almost ready, while Karachi brings the final details to his preparations for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy 2025.
Lahore remains the biggest concern for PCB and ICC
Lahore remains the biggest concern for both PCB and ICC, with renovation works that progress at a rapid speed because workers work both day and night, but still require considerable efforts to respect the deadline.
It was said that the Pakistani Cricket Committee may not surrender to the Gaddafi stadium ICC until the end of the upcoming POD three-series, in which Pakistan, New Zealand and South Africa will play.
This GO three-series will start on February 8, and the first two matches will be held in Lahore. Some insiders for the delay of the wrong “Jugaad” culture, since working in full power began only six months ago, despite the fact that PCB was a real hosting three years ago.

Don’t worry, it will be done: Rashid Latif
Meanwhile, former Pakistani Captain Rashid Latif confirmed that the reconstruction works in Rawalpindi and Karachi have been completed. He also revealed that the gaddafi stadium in Lahore was renewed from scratch, which takes longer.
Rashid Latif was quoted on the same website, “Fikr Nahi, Ho Jayega (don’t worry, it will be done). Pindi aur Karachi toh Ho Gaya Hai. Aur pain of Toh Raha Hai Lahore Bhi Bhi on February 1, such a ho Jayega (Pindi and Karachi are already done). According to them (PCB), the works in Lahore will be finished by February 1. In fact, they again build a gaddafi stadium from zero. So it takes so much time. ”
Namely, the reconstruction of the Gaddafi stadium is progressing quickly, but foggy weather is a big problem, and only half of the chairs are set in Lahore.
The Pakistani Committee spent 12 billion Pakistani rupees on the renovation of three stadiums, but failed to make a clear explanation of the delay as the ICC supports the country with little freedom.
