Earlier, the PCB installed two giant screens at Karachi's National Stadium for the opening ceremony that have blocked the view of at least two enclosures i.e. Naseemul Ghani enclosure and Iqbal Qasim enclosure.

The tickets for these two enclosures, priced at Rs2,500 initially, have been reduced to Rs1,500 for the reason and the PCB is yet to finalise a protocol through which those who purchased tickets at the initial price would be refunded for their payment. The last-minute changes to the prices of the tickets have cost the PCB at least Rs5 million.
