Work expedited but Pindi unlikely to host any matches

Suhail said that the sale and purchase of tickets and facilities for the general public during the second prestigious event after World Cup were also discussed during the meeting but nothing conclusive came out of the talks as yet.

He said that the arrival date of ICC Task Force is not final and would mostly depend on the Prime Minister's engagements.

On the College End construction work at the Gaddafi Stadium, the PCB media official said that two storeys of the end are near completion while the construction of the third would resume after the Champions Trophy. However, he added, the pending work won't affect the Champions Trophy organisation or the general public. "The contract for the work was given just six months ago and the remaining work won't hamper the prcogress of the event," he further said.

He also said that the team will be announced after the practice matches. He further said that the organisers were trying their best to hold the four-nation T20 Tournament in Toronto in October.
