PCB Successfully Wastes 12 Billion Pakistani Rupees, PAK’s Mismanagement Leaves ICC Sweating Over Champions Trophy’s Future
Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and mismanagement, this is a match made in heaven. Everything that the PCB does or says ignites new controversy, but they don’t seem to learn. The latest victim of PCB’s mismanagement and a string of lies none other than the ICC, who entrusted Pakistan with the hosting rights of Champions Trophy 2025. The Champions Trophy which will be jointly hosted by the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) and the Emirates Cricket Board (ECB) will be played in the ‘Hybrid Model’.
Defending Champions Pakistan play their opening game of the tournament against New Zealand on February 19, 2025. The match will be played in the National Stadium, Karachi. But there is a glaring question on how ready Pakistan is to host the Champions Trophy? Ofcourse they have no answers to terror funding, but unfortunately they also do not have answers to their preparation for Champions Trophy.
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) reportedly invested around 12 billion Pakistani rupees to upgrade National Stadium Karachi (NSK) and Gaddafi Stadium Lahore and was ready to take possession on February 5, two weeks before the start of the Champions Trophy. The PCB said that these stadiums were undergoing massive upgrades to meet international standards that is required to host an ICC event. The PCB was initially planning to build ICC Anti-Corruption and Anti-Doping units, physio rooms, and match officials’ rooms in the NSK stadium, but seems that they are far from completion and time is constantly running out.
The Gadaffi Stadium in Lahore also received major upgrades which includes new building installations but are still far from being complete. Pakistan’s cricketing infrastructure is in shambles and it is being reported that the opening ceremony of the Champions Trophy might move out of Pakistan.
There have been concerns raised over whether the stadiums would be ready in time for the mega event and if the PCB would have ample time to test out all the new added facilities and construction at these stadiums. Arshad Khan, the General Manager at the National Stadium in Karachi, said work would be completed on the new building and on other facilities by end of January and PCB would be given possession of the renovated stadium on February 5.
He said the progress at the Gaddafi stadium in Lahore was similar and the PCB would take control of the upgrade version on February 5. The PCB has spent some 12 billion Pakistani rupees on upgrading these two stadiums and the Rawalpindi stadium.
(With PTI Inputs)
The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has come under fire for reportedly wasting a whopping 12 billion Pakistani Rupees on mismanagement and ineffective planning for the upcoming ICC Champions Trophy. The International Cricket Council (ICC) is now left sweating over the future of the prestigious tournament due to PCB’s reckless spending and poor decision-making.The PCB’s failure to properly allocate funds and resources has put the Champions Trophy in jeopardy, with concerns rising over the tournament’s viability and sustainability. The ICC, as the governing body of international cricket, is now faced with the daunting task of salvaging the event and ensuring its success despite the PCB’s shortcomings.
The mismanagement by the PCB not only reflects poorly on the organization itself but also on Pakistan’s cricketing reputation as a whole. Fans and stakeholders are left frustrated and disappointed by the wastage of such a significant amount of money, which could have been better utilized for the development and promotion of cricket in the country.
It is high time for the PCB to take responsibility for its actions and make necessary reforms to prevent such financial mismanagement from occurring in the future. The ICC must also step in to ensure that the Champions Trophy retains its status as one of the premier events in international cricket, despite the challenges posed by the PCB’s incompetence. Only through accountability and effective governance can the sport of cricket in Pakistan thrive and prosper.

Alexander, who spent three years at Alabama, began his career with the Crimson Tide in 2022 when he appeared in four games with one tackle while redshirting. An inside backer, Alexander moved to the outside to start the 2023 season, when he totaled three tackles in 14 games, primarily on special teams. In 2024, he missed the first three games of the season recovering from injury and posted five tackles in 10 games.
The 6-foot-2, 249-pounder was the nation’s No. 1 edge defender and No. 18 overall prospect in the 2022 recruiting class, per the 247Sports Composite.
