In a significant development, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that the second Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh, scheduled to take place in Karachi, will be held without spectators.

The decision was made due to ongoing construction and renovations at the National Stadium in preparation for the upcoming Champions Trophy.

According to PCB sources, two enclosures at the stadium have been affected by the construction work, leading to the decision to ban fans from attending the match.

Those who have already purchased tickets will be refunded. Further updates on the match and stadium preparations will be provided soon.
