The government of Pakistan has assigned the task to PCB to build a new Cricket Stadium in Islamabad
In a presser Chairman PCB stated that PCB was looking forward to establishing a Hi-Tech International Level stadium in Islamabad. This hi-tech stadium will also have a five-star hotel to accommodate the visiting international teams. This will not only help in the security of the visiting teams but also ease the load of traffic in the entire city.
The plan for a stadium in Islamabad was finalized in 2008 by the Pakistan People’s Party’s then-federal government, when the Capital Development Authority allocated 40 acres of land for it.
However, the PCB failed to begin development on the site, causing the CDA to terminate the 33-year lease. The CDA granted the federal government permission to resume building work on the site in 2012.
However, with Ramiz Raja on the seat and 2025 Champions Trophy is also coming into Pakistan, the PCB is willing to complete the stadium by 2025.
