Free entry for Pak Vs NZ 2nd Test: PCB
Test match scheduled between Pakistan and New Zealand from January 2-6 at the National Bank Cricket Arena, Karachi.
The forthcoming limited-overs cricket series between Pakistan and New Zealand will witness 25% crowd capacity, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced on Monday.
The National Command and Operation Centre (NCOC), which is the country’s central body in the fight against Covid-19 pandemic, has given approval to crowd to attend matches.
“Spectators are the essence of any sport event as they create an ambience and atmosphere for the players to excel, perform and enjoy. In this background, we are grateful to the NCOC for allowing the PCB to invite 25 percent crowds for the eight matches,” PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan was quoted as saying by the media on Monday.

“I am sure following the NCOC decision, the unvaccinated cricket followers will expedite their vaccination process so that they can witness the first series on home soil between the two sides since 2003,” added Khan.
