He said that shuttle buses will provide pick and drop facility and both the teams will be provided box security. “All-out arrangements will be made for peaceful holding of matches,” he added. He also directed to make the best arrangements inside and outside of the stadium, and assured that the provincial government will extend cooperation to the Pakistan Cricket Board.
