Rawalpindi not to host

ISLAMABAD: Rawalpindi will not host its scheduled matches during India’s tour of Pakistan in January due to a delay in renovation work.

“We will not be able to finish the renovation work that includes the relaying of the outfield,” PCB chairman Ejaz Butt said on Tuesday.

Rawalpindi was originally to host the second Test and third ODI of India’s January 4 to February 19 tour which includes three Tests, five ODIs and a Twenty20 international. “We have a couple of other venues in mind and will shift the Rawalpindi matches there,” Butt said.

Either Faisalabad or Multan could host the second Test.

January’s tour of Pakistan is still not a certainty after the Indian government barred its field hockey team from a scheduled five-match visit earlier this month due to security concerns. — AP
