Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) Chairman Mohsin Naqvi took strict notice of the national team’s stay at a New York hotel located 90 minutes away from the stadium, leading to a change in hotel.
Earlier the hotel where the team had to stay was a 90-minute drive from the stadium, but the changed hotel is just five minutes away from the stadium.
The Indian cricket team is housed just 10 minutes away from the ground in New York, while other teams’ hotels are more than an hour away.
South Africa and Sri Lanka have already expressed concerns over the facilities provided during their stay in New York.
According to Geo sources, PCB Chairman Mohsin Naqvi made it clear to the International Cricket Council (ICC) that if the Pakistani team’s hotel has not changed, he would shift the team to a better and more convenient place at PCB’s expense.
The national team will leave for New York immediately after the match against USA today, to play a highly-anticipated match against India on June 9 and one against Canada on June 11. The last match of the first round will be against Ireland on June 16.
