The ICC Champions Trophy will run from February 19 to March 9, but concerns over Pakistan's preparedness grew when scenes of incomplete construction work at stadiums in all three host cities suggested delay and went viral on social media earlier this week. However, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has refuted those as mere rumours, assuring on-time delivery of the venues.
The tournament will be played at the Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, National Stadium in Karachi and the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium, besides matches in Dubai, where India's fixtures will be hosted as per a pre-decided hybrid arrangement.
