The Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) has announced ticket prices and sales arrangements for the second Test match between Pakistan and Sri Lanka, which has been shifted from Lahore to Rawalpindi due to worsening smog conditions.
According to the PCB, tickets will go on sale on Thursday, November 12, from 3:00 PM through designated TCS Express Centres across the country. The second Test will be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium from November 17 to 21, with ticket prices set at affordable rates for cricket fans.
Tickets for all enclosures, including VIP stands, will cost Rs200 per person per day throughout the five-day match. Meanwhile, spectators wishing to watch the game from the PCB Gallery in the stadium’s main building will have to pay Rs800 per person per day. The Platinum Box tickets have been priced at Rs8,000 per person per day.
Why was the second test shifted to Rawalpindi?
The PCB announced the venue change on Tuesday, citing rising smog levels and prevailing weather conditions in Lahore.
The match was originally scheduled to take place at Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore from November 17 to 21. However, the board decided to move it to Rawalpindi to avoid potential disruptions caused by deteriorating air quality.
Despite the change of venue, the dates of the second Test remain unchanged. The first Test of the two-match series is currently underway at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium. Both matches are part of the 2025–27 ICC World Test Championship.
