The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) announced free entry for spectators for the remaining days (fourth and fifth) of the first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.

This decision has been taken keeping in mind the weekend, so that families and students can come in large numbers to support their cricket stars and watch this important match of the World Test Championship cycle between the two sides. Along with this, it was also announced that, Fans who have already bought tickets for days four and five will receive a refund.

Pakistan Cricket Board provided free bus service to watch matches

Furthermore, it was also announced that free shuttle bus service will continue on two routes on match days to make it easier for spectators to reach the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. After this announcement, everyone expected that a huge crowd of spectators would come to watch the match. But do you know what actually happened?

Fans did not come to watch the match. The people of Pakistan who crowd for free flour, did not come to watch the match even after free entry and free bus service. The picture of an empty stadium in which there are not even 20 people is going viral on the internet and X users are making fun of it.

Pakistan Cricket Board is going to host the Champions Trophy

The Pakistan Cricket Board is going to organize the ICC Champions Trophy 2025 to be played next year. Now some people are pointing fingers at the board that if people in Pakistan are not going to watch the matches even after getting free tickets, then how will they come to watch the matches by paying for expensive tickets in the Champions Trophy. Along with this, questions are also being raised whether it is right to organize such a big ICC event in Pakistan.
