- PCB worked hard to bring spectators to the stadium during the New Zealand Series.
- Only hope that people with vaccination certificates will be allowed to enter the stadium.
- The New Zealand cricket team is scheduled to arrive in Pakistan on September 11.
Lahore: The Pakistan Cricket Committee (PCB) has begun preparations to get in touch with the National Command and Operations Center (NCOC) to obtain permission to bring a limited number of spectators to the stadium during the New Zealand Series.
The source said that the Cricket Committee is working on a proposal and will submit its case to the top COVID-19 agency later this month.
The board will require that only vaccinated people are allowed to enter the Rawalpindi and Lahore Cricket Grounds where New Zealand will be held.
It is expected that the PCB will ask those who hold a vaccination certificate to allow 50% of the stadium’s capacity to be filled.
During the fourth wave of COVID-19 in the country, NCOC re-imposed restrictions, and the positive rate exceeded 8% in the past few days.
Earlier, the Pakistan Premier League had to be suspended in March, when several players and support staff tested positive. The game was later rescheduled in Abu Dhabi.
