Earlier, Ramiz heavily criticized the condition of stadiums in Pakistan saying they are not up to the standards of international cricket. He then gave a motive to construct a top-notch cricket stadium in Islamabad, the capital city of the cricket-loving nation.
The chairperson added owning hosting rights for ICC Champions Trophy 2025 is a big achievement for the country but there is a need for a high-profile stadium to host the marquee event.
