Meanwhile, the Pakistan-India Under-19 Cricket match scheduled for September 13 at Rawalpindi is likely to be shifted to Abbottabad Cricket Stadium due to unplayable condition of Arbab Niaz Cricket Stadium.
Although work has been completed at the stadium, the outfield is not ready yet, PCB Curator Mir Bashar told newsmen on Friday.
