Pakistan Unveils Renovated Gaddafi Stadium Ahead of ICC Champions Trophy

News summary

Pakistan is set to host the ICC Champions Trophy from February 19 to March 9, 2025, marking its first major international cricket tournament in nearly three decades. Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif inaugurated the renovated Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, which features upgraded facilities, emphasizing the importance of winning the tournament and defeating arch-rival India in their match scheduled for February 23 in Dubai. The tournament will feature eight teams, with matches split between Pakistan and the UAE; India's matches will be held in Dubai due to their decision not to play in Pakistan. Preparations include a tri-nation series involving Pakistan, New Zealand, and South Africa, set to kick off at the Gaddafi Stadium. Concerns over timely renovations have plagued the tournament, particularly at Karachi's National Bank Stadium, although officials assure that work is nearing completion. The event is seen as a significant step in reviving international cricket in Pakistan after years of security issues.
