“Previous governments paid no attention towards sports facilities,” he said, adding that the PTI-led Punjab government had decided to upgrade the historic Jinnah Stadium which did not hold any cricket event for years.
He went on to say that Rs810 million had been released for the renovation of Jinnah Cricket Stadium, Sialkot. He further shared that after upgradation, the government will hand over the ground to Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) to host international and domestic matches.
