Showing his concern that none of the stadiums in Pakistan was of international standards, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Syed Mohsin Naqvi on Monday expressed the resolve to complete the upgradation of all three stadiums in Lahore, Karachi and Rawalpindi before the start of the Champions Trophy, reported 24NewsHD TV channel.  

Speaking to the media after reviewing development works at Qaddafi Stadium in Lahore, he said, “We will provide the best facilities to the crowd as well as others in these stadiums. We have just five months. Look at the Frontier Works Organization men who are working so hard on the project. This indeed is a very challenging task.”

Naqvi said he also planned the construction of stadiums in Islamabad and Skardu. “The stadium was built in New York in 10 to 15 days. We will build these stadiums even earlier,” he said.

The PCB chairman informed that the Board was in contact with the security officials before the event got underway.
