Change Qaddafi stadium’s name, please

Letter February 24, 2011
We still bear the Libyan's name on one of our most important sporting landmarks.

ISLAMABAD: Col Muamar Qaddafi of Libya, in his latest speech, derogatorily asked his people if they wanted their country to become a Pakistan or an Afghanistan. And yet we still bear his name on one of our most important sporting landmarks. Maybe it’s time to replace the name of this important stadium in Lahore with one that recognises one of our cricket legends.
