Pakistan is set to host the upcoming white-ball ICC event. The three main venues—National Stadium in Karachi, Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore, and Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium—are still undergoing construction and upgrades. All three venues must be completed and handed over to the ICC by February 1.
“Unveiling the stunning new-look Gaddafi Stadium! Under the lights, it's a sight to behold! ONE WORD to describe your excitement after seeing this breathtaking view? We can't wait to welcome fans, officials and teams for the tri-nation series & #ChampionsTrophy @ICC @ICCMediaComms,” wrote PCB on their X (formerly known as Twitter) account as they shared the video with their fans.

The Pakistan Cricket Board has announced that the iconic Gaddafi Stadium in Lahore will be handed over to the ICC on February 11, just over a week before the start of the ODI Champions Trophy. The handover will occur after Pakistan's tri-series against New Zealand and South Africa.
A PCB source told PTI that final touches were being applied to Gaddafi Stadium. The source acknowledged that the stadium had been a construction site and noted that some rubble remained, which would be cleared soon. After six months of renovation work, the stadium is now nearing completion.
