At the National Bank Stadium, the reconstruction work is moving along at a brisk pace, and it is anticipated that the project will be finished in its entirety by the 31st of January.

The construction work started on October 22nd, and although there are still some jobs to be completed, some considerable progress has been achieved.

Wasim Akram and Intikhab Alam will be sitting in enclosures, and the director of the project, Bilal Chauhan, informed them that digital screens will be put in front of the enclosures. The screens will be positioned in a way that ensures no inconvenience for the spectators. Furthermore, in compliance with the directions issued by PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi, the perimeter fencing would be removed following the conclusion of the Champions Trophy and PSL 10 sporting activities.

The capacity of the stadium will be extended to 30,000 in order to bring about an improvement in the experience, and more than forty hospitality boxes have already been prepared.

The construction of a pedestrian bridge is also being done in order to improve access. This will enable supporters to park their vehicles in the China Ground, which is located close, and then walk directly into the stadium.

Additionally, regular progress is being made on the framework of the floodlight tower.
