Hayatabad Cricket Stadium Peshawar Renovation Started
Hayatabad Cricket Ground is expected to host the Pakistan Super League (PSL) VI matches in 2021 as the provincial government has started increasing its capacity and upgrading players’ dressing rooms for the purpose.
Asfandyar Khattak, Director General Khyber Pakhtunkhwa Sports Board, told ‘The News’ that the PCB has set the condition to increase the ground’s capacity to 10,000 and upgrade the players’ dressing rooms to international standard for the venue to host the PSL matches next year.
“We are ready to meet these conditions and have decided to complete the work within the next five months. We have already awarded the tender with the condition that all uplift work should be completed in time. I am optimistic that we will meet the PCB conditions well before five months,” he said.
Khattak said the cricket facility in Hayatabad was already the best around. “What we lack will be completed well in time for the PSL matches.”
