The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) on Friday 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.
Most stands remained empty during the first three days of the Test match between the two teams.
“The decision was made given the weekend, which will allow families and students to turn up in maximum numbers to support their cricketing stars,” the cricket board said in a statement.
The ongoing two-match Test series is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25.
