LAHORE: The second Test between Pakistan and New Zealand next month has been moved from Multan to Karachi due to “deteriorating” weather conditions, the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) said on Saturday.

The PCB said that the poor conditions, which have already disrupted flight operations, could potentially result in the loss of playing hours.

The change in schedule means the whole series, which includes two Tests and three ODIs, will now be held in Karachi. The first Test is set to begin on Monday.

The second Test will begin on Jan 2 after that contest and the three ODIs were brought forward by a day, the statement added.

Why have they not renovated Hyderabad and Faisalabad. At the moment it's Pindi, Lahore, Multan and Karachi only.
