Pakistan Cricket Board did not get the trophy, the station increased due to expenditure

New DelhiThere is a very old saying that Sayana crow often eats the mouth and then scratches a pillar like a khisiani cat. The situation of Pakistan Cricket Board is going on a similar way. The ICC returned 8 years of the Champions Trophy tournament, which was assigned to Pakistan. But Pakistan could neither win the trophy nor did it earn money, the situation is that Pakistan is on the verge of being pauper.

Pakistan was hosting an ICC event after 29 years, in such a situation, claims were made that 8 billion Pakistani rupees project was passed for renewal of the grounds. This amount is equal to about 561 crore rupees in Indian rupees. Well, Team India has won the title, now the figures that have come out by assessing all the expenses, they do not seem good for Pakistan. There have been some such works, after listening to which you will press the finger under the teeth.

1500 crores for 600 balls

Three matches of the Champions Trophy were to be held in Rawalpindi, so it cost Rs 1500 crore to improve the stadium there, but only one match was completed on this ground. Australia vs South Africa and Pakistan vs. Bangladesh matches were rained. In such a situation, only Bangladesh and New Zealand matches were completed in Rawalpindi Maidan. In such a situation, the question arises whether PCB would have been able to make 1500 crores from only one match. In view of this misconduct of Pakistan, only one saying comes in the mind that the ate is not broken by twelve.

The trophy was not spent on money

The plains of Rawalpindi, Karachi and Lahore were renewed for organizing the Champions Trophy 2025. 393 million rupees were to be spent to convert floodlights into LED lights. Apart from this, an amount of 400 million was allocated for the construction of hospitality box, toilet and main building. The amount of Rs 330 million to change the LED digital screen was to be spent. During the construction work, there was a lot of criticism of sitting in the field. Let us know that 272 million rupees were allotted to set up new seats.

The news is also that the Pakistan Cricket Board conducted different opening ceremonies in the three stadiums. From the famous singer to the dancers, the inauguration ceremony had added four moons. But there is no clear figures available anywhere about how much cost has been incurred in the opening ceremony. Talking about the matches in Pakistan, the grounds were seen vacant on most occasions, in such a situation, the sale of tickets would hardly be compensated by PCB. You must have heard the matter of spreading the legs as much as the sheet, one thing is clear in this Champions Trophy that Pakistan took out the legs and the result is in front.
