Smog could force a venue change for the upcoming Twenty20 Internationals (T20Is) and Pakistan Super League (PSL) five playoffs which were originally scheduled to be played in Lahore.

The T20Is against Zimbabwe might be played at the Rawalpindi Cricket Stadium in Rawalpindi due to the rising smog in Lahore.

According to sources, the medical staff and officials of the Pakistan Cricket Board (PCB) are keeping an eye on the situation. If the smog continues to rise according to the current trends then the decision to host the T20Is in Rawalpindi will be made after the conclusion of the One-Day Internationals (ODIs) against Zimbabwe.
