The 2025 ICC champion trophy was a dream project for Pakistan Crickket Board (PCB) and the whole nation, but failed to meet the expectations both in and out of the field. While Pakistani National Cricket team made a way out of the first round, their so hipni renovated stadiums were just a disaster.
Pakistan hosted the ICC tournament after more than three decades, but PCB let out to be embarrassed by his work. They spend millions on the renovation of Lahore’s Gaddafi Stadium, the Karachi National Bank Stadium and the Rawalpindi Krixket Stadium in Rawalpindi for the 2025 ICC champion.
PCB -O’s renewed gaddafi stadium turns into a nightmare
In these stadiums, new reflectors, catering boxes, electronic plates and LED towers were installed. But viral videos on social networks completely put PCB on shame. From poor safety at stadiums to poor drainage system and bad facilities within the stadium, everything just turned out to be shameful for the whole of Pakistan.

Previously, a key group match between Afghanistan and Australia in the current ICC champion of the Trophy 2025 champion had to be abandoned due to freezing at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore. A short 30-minute magic of rain during the Australian chase discovered a bad system of drainage stadium.
Despite the continuous efforts of ground staff – including the use of mops and sponges – the surface remained too moist, forcing the courts to deviate from the game after more than an hour of waiting. The bad drainage left players and fans frustrated because both teams had to share points.
