In a proactive initiative, Cricket Australia is gearing up to provide a distinctive and inclusive experience for Pakistani cricket enthusiasts during the highly anticipated first Test of the Benaud Qadir Trophy at Perth Stadium on December 14.
The upcoming match has generated significant excitement, evident in the sale of over 18,000 tickets. In a thoughtful gesture towards Pakistani supporters, Perth Stadium has allocated two special zones surrounding the Pakistan dressing room, officially christened as the “Pakistan Bay.” This dedicated area aims to create a central gathering point for fans to passionately support their team. In keeping with a family-friendly atmosphere, the Pakistan Bay has been designated as an alcohol-free zone.
To foster a sense of community within the Pakistan Bay, attendees will have access to a variety of amenities, including tea, Halal, and Desi food options.
In a bid to further engage fans, Pakistani cricketers Hasan Ali and Saim Ayub have extended an invitation for a walk organized by Cricket Australia on the first day of the match. The walk will kick off from the renowned Sailani Avenue, guiding participants to the Perth Stadium. This initiative is set to enhance the overall experience for Pakistani cricket enthusiasts, creating memorable moments around the Benaud Qadir Trophy.
