PCB rubbish report on Niaz Stadium
KARACHI: Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Friday clarified that the condition of Niaz Stadium in Hyderabad is in a good state and is ready to host international matches as well.
It had been reported that Niaz Stadium has been used for unsporting activities like wedding functions.
“Allegations mentioned in the report are totally unfounded and completely baseless. Pakistan Cricket Board asserts that the stadium is well-maintained and is in very good condition. Since PCB has taken over the ground in June 2007 no such activity has happened there,” said a PCB media release.
“Maintenance of stadiums and grounds are a continuous process and PCB is committed to keep all the facilities ready to operate. Additional infrastructure installation is already under process and we are ready to host an international match on the ground on a week’s notice,” the release quoted Mir Haider Ali Talpur, President Regional Cricket Association Hyderabad, as saying.
The release also added that Niaz Stadium in Hyderabad was chosen as a venue for the recently postponed tour of Bangladesh U-19 Cricket Team to Pakistan.
