New moat, VIP enclosures, and modern upgrades set to transform Gaddafi Stadium
This feature has been added to improve security by preventing pitch invasions and also helps with better drainage, replacing the old steel cage barrier. Additionally, a protective net will be installed over the trench to keep the ball in the ground to make sure there is no delay in the game.
The Nation has reported: “Two VVIP enclosures, named after cricketing legends Zaheer Abbas and Majid Khan, have been added to honor their contributions to Pakistan cricket.
