RAWALPINDI – The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced that spectators will be granted free entry for the fourth and fifth days of the ongoing first Test match between Pakistan and Bangladesh at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium.
The decision, aimed at increasing turnout over the weekend, encourages families and students to come in large numbers to support their favorite cricket stars and enjoy the match.
This two-match Test series is part of the ICC World Test Championship 2023-25.
To gain entry, spectators are required to bring their original CNIC or B-form. They will have access to any of the VIP enclosures (Imran Khan and Javed Miandad, reserved for families) or premium enclosures (Miran Baksh, Shoaib Akhtar, Sohail Tanvir, and Yasir Arafat) free of charge. However, this offer does not extend to tickets already purchased for the PCB Gallery or Platinum Box.
Fans who have already purchased tickets for the fourth and fifth days will receive a refund. For tickets bought online, refunds will be automatically processed to the original credit/debit card. Those who bought tickets from Express Centres are advised to return with their original ticket to receive a refund.
To further assist spectators, a free shuttle bus service will continue to operate on matchdays. The service will run on two routes: Route 1 from Aviation Ground, Rawal Road, Murree Road to the Allama Iqbal Park Entrance Gate, and Route 2 from Government Satellite Town College for Boys, 6th Road, Murree Road to the Allama Iqbal Park Entrance Gate.
