Lahore Gaddafi Stadium Renovation Work: There is less than one and a half month left for the Champions Trophy to be held, but the preparations for the tournament in Pakistan are not complete yet. Now Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore has come into discussion because a video is going viral on social media. In this video shared from the X handle of ‘PCB Media’, Pakistan Cricket Board Chairman Mohsin Raza Naqvi has arrived to take stock of the preparations. But the pictures of the ground are surprising. At a time when emphasis should have been placed on giving the finishing touches to the ground, the construction work of the ground itself has not been completed.
It can be seen in this video that a lot of work has been done in Gaddafi Stadium, modern flood lights and new screen stands are being installed but a lot of work is still left. Due to the dilapidated road outside the ground and poor seating arrangements for the fans, it is natural to raise doubts whether this work will be completed by the start of the tournament. The first match of the Champions Trophy on this ground will be played between England and Australia on 22 February, which is exactly one and a half month away from now.
