Gaddafi stadium being revamped

LAHORE: The historic Gaddafi stadium is being given a new look for hosting the three match series between Pakistan and the ICC World XI matches from September 12 to 15.

Necessary renovation and paint are being carried out for the eagerly awaited clash between the top notch cricketers and the home side. "The arena will be tastefully decorated before the launch of the series as we still have a few days left to give the entire stadium a new look," said an official of the Pakistan Cricket Board.



He said various enclosures of the stadium have been cleaned and broken plastic chairs are being replaced. The stadium and its outer side will be tastefully decorated which will add to the grandeur of one of the world’s best cricket ground, he added.

"The preparations are very similar to the final of the Pakistan Super League which we successfully organised earlier this year," he said.
