The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced a change of venue for the second Test match of the Pakistan-Bangladesh series. Originally scheduled to be played in Karachi, the match will now be held at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The decision comes due to ongoing construction work at the National Stadium in Karachi to prepare the venue for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. The PCB deemed it necessary to relocate the match to avoid disruptions caused by the construction activities.
Both Tests will now be played in Rawalpindi, with the first match commencing on August 21 and the second on August 30.
This change in venue is likely to impact both teams’ preparations. Will it favor either side?
