    Pak-England Test likely to be relocated from Pakistan

    The three-match Test series between Pakistan and England is likely to be shifted to the UAE or Sri Lanka.

    Due to the construction work at the proposed grounds for the Test series, the schedule of the 3-Test series starting next month may change.

    England is scheduled to play the first Test match in Multan on October 7, followed by matches in Karachi and Rawalpindi. However, due to the start of renovations before the Champions Trophy in 2025, playing on these grounds is impossible.

    England coach Brendon McCullum commented on the Pakistan-England series in a conversation with journalists before the third test against Sri Lanka, saying, We do not know anything about what is happening in Pakistan. We can only choose a team once we know where we are playing. It will be perfect to know about this in the next few days; when we know, then we will meet so that, according to the conditions, we can build a good team against the rival team.”

    On the other hand, Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) sources say the series is expected to be rescheduled next week. PCB is planning to conduct two tests in Rawalpindi and one test in Multan. Holding a Test series at any other venue would present logistical, operational, and financial challenges.

    Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif announced a public holiday today to celebrate Youm-e-Takbeer. Everything in the country is at a standstill, and the annual exams in schools have been delayed.

    Shehbaz Sharif announced the holiday to commemorate the day when Pakistan conducted a successful nuclear test in Chaghai in 1998.

    Provincial authorities postponed matriculation exams scheduled for today due to the public holiday.

    All government departments, educational institutions, the Stock Exchange, and courts are closed across the country due to the holiday.

    Pakistan, which is already suffering from inflation and has a stable economy, gets 120 public holidays annually. Due to a single day off, the national GDP faces a 1-2% loss, which equals more than Rs 100 billion.
    Economic analyst Khuram Shehzad said that a public holiday affects the national exchequer between $1.1 and $1.3 billion. He also added that the impact could be bigger if the holiday is “sudden.”
