The PCB has also kept the Imran Khan and Javed Akhtar VIP enclosures at Rs200 per day, allowing supporters to enjoy the international fixture from different sections without paying extra.
However, fans looking for a more exclusive match-day experience will have additional options. Tickets for the PCB Gallery, located in the stadium’s main building, have been set at Rs800 per person per day.
The Platinum Box will be the most expensive seating category, with tickets costing Rs8,000 per person per day.
