Web desk: The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has started the process to rename the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium and has invited tenders from commercial companies for the project.
According to officials, this step is part of the PCB’s plan to boost revenue from cricket venues and strengthen its financial position through sponsorship deals.
The board has officially begun the process of selling the naming rights for the Rawalpindi Stadium.
This will be the first time the historic ground will carry the name of a private company.
Earlier, the National Stadium in Karachi was renamed the National Bank Cricket Arena as part of the same initiative.
The PCB is expected to offer naming rights for other major stadiums in the country in the coming months.
Renaming sports venues after sponsors is a common practice worldwide, and the PCB’s move follows this trend.
The board hopes such commercial partnerships will create new financial opportunities and reduce dependence on external funding.
The Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium has hosted many memorable international matches over the years.
Cricket fans are now waiting to see which company’s name will be linked with the famous venue next.
