The second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh scheduled in Karachi from August 30 to September 3 has been shifted to Rawalpindi.
In a statement released by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB), it was said that both the Test matches of the home series will now be played in Rawalpindi.
As per the schedule, the first test will start from August 21 and the second test from August 30. The reason for the transfer of the test match is due to the construction work for the Champions Trophy 2025 at the National Bank Stadium Karachi.

It should be noted that a few days ago PCB said that the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh to be played in Karachi from August 30 to September 3 will be held without spectators.
“This difficult decision has been taken due to construction work in preparation for the ICC Champions Trophy 2025. We value our valued fans but their health and safety is paramount to us,” the statement said. It is to bring the stadium to the best facilities for the Champions Trophy.
The PCB had said that the sale of tickets for the Karachi Test was suspended, and those who had bought tickets would be refunded.
