KARACHI: A full packed stadium will be seen under the lights of National Stadium, Karachi, later this month for  the first time since the pandemic, as Pakistan take on West Indies.

The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Saturday announced that the stadium would host fans at 100% seating capacity during the three T20Is and as many ODIs from December 13-22.

Pakistan have won 17 T20Is this year and will enter the shorter format series against the West Indies with nine wins in the last 10 matches.

Guidelines

On the National Command and Operation Centre’s instructions, the PCB has said that only fully vaccinated spectators will be allowed to enter the stadium.

  • Individuals above 12 are required to be fully vaccinated.
  • No vaccination is required for children below the age of 12.
  • Access to the stadium will be granted upon the display of original ticket, CNIC, and Nadra-issued immunisation certificate for COVID-19.

“To ensure all the spectators get to enjoy the action in a safe manner, they are advised to follow the COVID-19 protocols and wear the face masks when in the stands,” the PCB statement said.

T20I ticket prices

In a bid to help cricket fans watch their superstars in action, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has set the ticket prices for the T20I matches from as low as Rs250 to Rs2,000, a PCB statement said.
