LAHORE, May 23: The first phase to upgrade the 53 cricket grounds in the country will be completed by July 31.
Chairman PCB Development Committee, Ramiz Hasan Raja, admitted that the delay in completing the work had been due to technical reasons.
Ramiz said work could not be started on several grounds because the board faced problems in settling differences with the owners of the land.
He said that in the next phase the grounds where the first class matches had been staged would be upgraded.
He parried certain questions about the poor standard of the grounds in Lahore, a city having seven million population. The PCB included only one ground, the LCCA, in its project of the upgradation, the work on which is still to be completed.
