LAHORE, Feb 23: A musical night at the Gaddafi Stadium on Saturday night has compelled the Pakistan cricket team management to shift the national training camp for the 2007 World Cup to National Cricket Academy for a day.

A grand musical evening to celebrate the spring festival is being arranged by the PTV in collaboration with the PCB at the stadium. The President of Pakistan Gen. Pervez Musharraf has been invited to grace the occasion with other distinguished dignitaries.

In order to make security arrangements, the security staff has instructed the PCB to hand over the stadium to them on Saturday morning by 10am, whereas the musical programme starts at 7.30pm.

Moreover, in view of the security arrangements, Pakistan captain Inzamam-ul-Haq will now address a press conference at the National Cricket Academy on Saturday.
