PCB confirms change in venue for second Test against New Zealand
According to the PCB, the decision was taken citing the deteriorating weather condition in Multan and both cricket boards have mutually agreed to shift the venue.
Besides the change in venue, the second Test and upcoming ODI series between the two teams have also been advanced by a day.
“It has also been agreed between the two boards that the second Test and the three ODIs will now be brought forward by a day, meaning the second Test will commence on 2 January with the three ICC Men’s Cricket World Cup Super League fixtures to be played on 9, 11 and 13 January,” said PCB in a statement.
Notably, flight operations in Multan are already disturbed due to dense smog which can also pose a dent to the playing overs in the city.
It is pertinent to mention that the English team also experienced a flight delay on their way back from Multan to Karachi due to dense smog in the prior-mentioned city.
