KARACHI: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, scheduled for August 30 to September 3 in Karachi, will be played behind closed doors due to ongoing construction work at the National Bank Stadium.
The stadium is undergoing renovations in preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. Although the PCB acknowledges the importance of spectators support, they have made the difficult decision to hold the match without an audience to ensure a safe and successful event.
