Vaccinated spectators will be allowed to attend Pak-NZ series, PCB says
Pakistan Cricket Board on Monday said the spectators, who are fully vaccinated against COVID-19, would be allowed to attend their home limited-overs series against New Zealand beginning next month.
In a statement issued by the PCB, the grounds will be full to 25% capacity during the series.
New Zealand team will arrive in Islamabad on September 11 with Rawalpindi hosting three one-dayers before five Twenty20 Internationals in Lahore.
"Only spectators who are fully vaccinated and have Immunisation Certificate for Covid-19 will be allowed entry inside the stadia," the PCB said in a statement.
The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium will be able to welcome 4,500 spectators for the 50-overs format while the Gaddafi Stadium can have a crowd of around 5,500 for the T20 matches following approval from the National Command and Operations Centre, a military run body that oversees COVID-19 operations in Pakistan.
"I am sure following the NCOC decision, the unvaccinated cricket followers will expedite their vaccination process so that they can witness the first series on home soil between the two sides since 2003," PCB Chief Executive Wasim Khan said.
