RAWALPINDI: The first test match of two-test match series will be played between Pakistan and Bangladesh tomorrow (Thursday).
Bangladesh cricket team had arrived at Islamabad International Airport on Wednesday and went straight to the hotel amid tight security.
Azhar Ali-led Pakistan and Mominul Haque-led Bangladesh teams will practise today (Thursday) here at Pindi Stadium before start of the first Test, where the series trophy will also be unveiled, while both skippers will also hold press conferences.
Bangladesh team players were wearing masks as precautionary measures against Coronavirus. After taking rest for a while.
Security
The security forces have made fool-proof arrangements for both the teams’ practice sessions as well as for the first Test to be played from tomorrow. All the roads leading towards stadium will remain closed during practise sessions and till the departure of teams busses, while main Murree Road will be fully operational and only one side will be closed during the Test match.
Traffic Arrangements
The traffic will be shifted to different roads and also traffic police ensured smooth flow of traffic by allowing vehicles to run on single road opposite to the stadium road, which is a great initiative, as it will help the masses and especially the school going kids. Last time too, traffic police allowed traffic on single road, which was highly appreciated by the locals.
Free Entry
The PCB, keeping in mind the crowd’s passion, has also decided to make free entry in general stands for the masses, while very nominal rates of Rs 50 and RS 100 were fixed for other stands. It is hoped that like Sri Lankan Test match, the crowd will come in huge numbers and make the venue jam-packed.
