During his visit, Naqvi toured the newly constructed dressing rooms, hospitality boxes, and other areas, praising the significant progress made. He expressed confidence that this state-of-the-art stadium, a first in Pakistan, will greatly enhance the experience for both players and fans alike.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has confirmed the schedule for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 opening ceremonies, set to take place next month. PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi has approved all associated events leading up to the tournament.

Though ICC ensured to keep a day reserve for the captains’ joint photo shoot, PCB reportedly cancelled the event citing the ‘unavailability of teams due to tight traveling schedules’.
